54 Dawn says: “We work with couples to provide the perfect wedding breakfast, whether it be a formal four-course menu, a culturally-inspired banquet or an evening barbecue. Using locally sourced and seasonal produce where possible, our chefs are experts at creating beautiful dishes that will delight you and your guests and be talked about for years to come. Our new starter of watermelon and feta with candied walnuts have become a firm favourite with our clients as has our stunning popcorn parfait with banana brulée and salted caramel.” Nic says: “Once you have been announced in, we generally serve a three-course wedding breakfast. Before the speeches, we serve the bubbles ready for a toast. The wedding breakfast can also consist of a barbecue, hog roast, hot or cold buffet.” “Our posh charcoal barbecue service is designed for clients that are looking for a sophisticated and barbecue menu for their special day. As well as classics done brilliantly we have a range of signature dishes such as our tandoori marinated whole Scottish salmon cooked on cedar wood, 12-hour sous vide free-range pork belly glazed in Thai barbecue sauce with pineapple and chilli pickle and our barbecue king prawns with garlic and parsley butter. We also have a large variety of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options to ensure all of your guests are well catered for.”  “Our family sharing feasts are becoming increasingly popular with couples looking for relaxed and interactive dishes.  Our sharing menus all begin with complimentary sourdough, lemon, rosemary and pepper bark crackers and a variety of signature dips and cultured butter. To follow you can expect to find a variety of antipasti platters with local burrata, Isle of White tomatoes and British charcuterie. For mains our Signature 30 day dry aged sirloin of beef never  disappoints accompanied by seasonal vegetables and home made sauces. To finish our light, passion fruit delice with passion fruit jelly, carpaccio of pineapple and mango accompanied with passion fruit sorbet really hits the spot and cleanses the palette!''
