Your West Midlands Wedding - Feb/Mar 2019 (Issue 60)

Magic menus WHIPPED AND WILD It can be difficult to please everyone if you have a wide age range of guests but choosing ice cream will hit the right mark with the majority. We suggest... Horray’s British Gelato Kitchen. The company’s 1974 T2 VW Campervan has been transformed into Hennie, who is the picture-perfect gelato van for your big day. All gelato flavours, of which there is over 100, are made on the site of the company’s shop in Stratford Upon Avon. Call 01789 296 613, or visit hooraysgelato.com @hooraysgelato PIZZA MY HEART Second to a formal sit-down meal, this Italian cuisine is the most common option we see newlyweds opt for, and it’s not hard to see why. We suggest... Amber’s Wood Fired Kitchen, a family-run Shropshire-based business established in 2012. The company uses the finest locally-sourced ingredients to create delectable pizza in under 90 seconds thanks to two bespoke ovens that are fitted into their gorgeous van.

If the idea of this takeaway tantalises your taste buds but you’re not really a fish person, there’s usually vegetarian alternatives and even a cheeky burger or battered sausage option too. We suggest... KK catering. The company offers a range of international cuisines to choose from, including the British favourite of fish and chips, which is bound to be a crowd-pleaser. Call 08445 561 250, or visit, kkcatering.co.uk @kkcateringuk I t’s no secret that the way to your guests’ hearts is through their bellies. While you’re worrying about whether your napkins match the groom’s pocket square, your nearest and dearest are wondering what delectable delights they’ll be presented with. Will there be canapés? A dessert table with an array of macarons, meringues and marshmallow? Or even a late-night platter of sausage sarnies and chips? When it comes to catering, the sky’s your limit and in the West Midlands, a region bursting with wonderful companies offering a host of great culinary options, you can’t go wrong. TIME FOR TEA Afternoon tea is a popular choice for summer weddings, mainly because it’s not as heavy as a full three-course dinner. We suggest... Brittons Caterers, a highly acclaimed company covering the whole of the region offering a wide array of dining options for your big day including afternoon tea. This comprises a selection of traditional sandwiches, homemade scones with fresh whipped cream and jam and mini patisseries on a three-tiered stand. Call 01213 590 888 or visit brittonscaterers. co.uk @Birminghamwestmids  GETTING PIGGY WITH IT Hog roasts are an on-going trend for spring and summer nuptials and can provide an excellent talking point during the day. We suggest... Black Country Pig Roast, offers two fabulous packages. The first is Supply Only providing you with a meat of your choice, the roasting machine plus delivery to your chosen venue and cooking. The All Inclusive package includes everything in the Supply Only package, plus rolls, accompaniments, carving and serving. Call 07519 866 245, or visit blackcountrypigroast.co.uk CATERING 65
