We cater to all dietary requirements, ensuring every guest enjoys a meal that is both delicious and beautifully presented.

 

What are your venues facilities, before any menus can be designed, I will need to understand what equipment and space I will be working with within the venue. 

 

If you have hired a tipi or marquee, these come with no equipment so I would advise what cooking equipment, service tables and power required after we have spoken about your catering requirements.

 

Cutlery, crockery, table linen glass ware and any special equipment will also need to be hired I have a couple of great local companies that I work with I can share details.

 

The Cumbrian chef, I believe that every wedding is as unique as the couple at its heart. The menu you see here is just a glimpse of what we can offer—a curated selection to inspire your imagination. Whether you're dreaming of a traditional breakfast, a modern twist, or something entirely bespoke, we're here to craft a menu that perfectly reflects your tastes and the spirit of your special day.

 

Consider this a starting point. We're passionate about working closely with you to create a personalized menu that not only delights your guests but also tells your story. From the finest Northwest ingredients to the presentation and flavour combinations, everything will be tailored to your preferences.

 

Let's bring your vision to life, one delicious detail at a time.
