PARM-O-RAMA “Based in Cramlington, we bring our Parmo wagon to the whole of the North East,” says owner Jonny Hesketh. “Street food has blown up over the past few years, with more couples keen to showcase their favourite food – and that’s where we come in. We’ve taken many Parmo virginities at our wedding events, loving nothing more than showing off the famous Teesside dish that get guests talking. We get to know every couple before their wedding, tailoring your menu according to preference, venue and budget. Check out our social media, reading the comments and reviews – then book us for your big day!” www.facebook.com/parmorama TEESSIDE GRAZE “Couples looking for grazing tables, afternoon tea and canapés should check us out,” says manager Hajera Ullah. “Based in Middlesbrough but covering the surrounding areas, we provide cheeseboards, Indian street snacks, dessert boards, breakfast platters, Thai pasta pots and even freshly-made scones – and that’s just the start! All our menus can be custom-made to any dietary requirement, and we ensure our catering looks as good as it tastes. Your wedding food will always get talked about, so look for a business with great reviews, and don’t necessarily go with the cheapest, as that isn’t always the best option.” www.instagram.com/teessidegraze WILKINS FINE DINING “We’ll create whatever cuisine you want for your wedding,” says Neil Wilkins from Northumberland’s Wilkins Fine Dining. “Couples now have much more of an idea of how they want their special day to unfold in terms of food. Put simply, we are chefs by trade, and therefore you don’t get a person dressed in a suit trying to sell you the world. We listen to your wants and needs and are honest with you right from the start, finding companies to work alongside us if need be. Regardless of who you think you’ll use, always have a tasting session before committing, as reading a menu is easy – but getting to try the food is a must.” www.wilkinsfinedining.co.uk THE PUDDING PARLOUR “We offer all things sweet here at Prudhoe’s The Pudding Parlour,” says coowner Kristy Giblin. “Of course, there’s wedding cakes, but they’re not your traditional style. Instead, we offer two-tiered versions of our normal range, such as Percy Pig wedding cakes or Caramac creations. We also offer desserts, individual cakes, slices and cookie pies for sweet grazing tables, all of which are made fresh to order. Just be sure to always over-cater – if there’s any left at the end of the night, which is doubtful, you can gift to guests as they leave; or take home to enjoy yourselves!” https://thepuddingparlour.com CATERING 51
