BON APPÉTIT Craft & Cleaver Catering are super excited to announce their 2024 wedding menu. The talented chefs specialise in rustic feasts cooked over live fires, and the on-trend menu includes showstopping dishes such as cedar-plank hot-smoked salmon served straight to the table still nailed to the plank, tendersmoked beef brisket and sticky maple squash with creamy miso cauliflower. Canapé options include lamb tacos with wild garlic and nettle chimichurri as well as rockefeller oysters cooked on the coals. Adam Richardson, owner and firemaster, talks us through the concept. He says, “We’re on a mission to redefine wedding food with rustic feasts cooked over sustainable wood and charcoal. Our idea was born out of our sister business, St. Albans barbecue restaurant Craft & Cleaver, with the same principles of using fire and smoke as an ingredient paired with excellent customer service. Couples can expect the same quality that has made the restaurant a Hertfordshire firm favourite, and we love going above and beyond to make weddings memorable.” Contact the team to discuss more details and what else they can offer.
