Boho wonders The latest catering trends LOVE THE FOOD OF W e love our food in South Wales, and rightly so! Our fabulous region is packed with delectable delights from Welsh cakes through to delicious hog roasts. To help give you heaps of inspiration, we’ve focused on three key trends. “A boho-themed wedding is a very relaxed setting compared to a formal sit down meal. We would recommend swapping your traditional canapés for a creative charcuterie station where your guests can graze whilst wandering around the magical setup you have created.” – Joshua Currall from Pickled Pumpkin Catering. www.pick ledpumpkincatering.co.uk “For your main, we would recommend setting up several food stations that consist of cuisines from all around the world from traditional pies and mashed potatoes to vibrant Lebanese street food. An ice cream stand with fresh churros and dips would go down as a real treat too!” – Joshua from Pickled Pumpkin Catering. www.pick ledpumpkincatering.co.uk “If you’re going for a street food vibe, then opt for small individual handcrafted pies such as chicken, leek and wild mushroom. Alternatively, look at beef, marmite and local ale or smoked cheddar and caramelised onion. Top the pie with homemade minted mushy peas and smoked bacon mashed potato.” – Joshua from Pickled Pumpkin Catering. www.pick ledpumpkincatering.co.uk “Alternatively, a Lebanese-inspired menu would be perfect. Go for chicken and roasted pepper shish kebabs with bazlama bread and chilli ketchup or Adana kebabs and oversized sumac flatbread with pickled chillis, cucumber, rosewater yoghurt and fresh coriander. Smashed falafel flatbread, mint, hummus, tomato and pickled cucumbers would taste great, as would twice-cooked organic toum and smoked jalapeño tahini dip.” – Joshua from Pickled Pumpkin Catering. “You want your caterer to be bursting at the seams with ideas, energy and knowledge. Although you may have your perfect vision for your wedding breakfast, often there are logistical battles behind the scenes, so you need to be given the best advice on what will work for your day, not just a yes to everything you ask for. This is where the caterer’s experience plays a pivotal role.” – Joshua from Pickled Pumpkin Catering. “Make sure you request a tasting. This is paramount to making sure couples know exactly what to expect on their big day.” – Joshua from Pickled Pumpkin Catering. 43 CATERING
