A winter wedding can be beautiful: crisp air, festive cheer and cosy gatherings make it a magical time to tie the knot. At Green Fig Catering Company, we understand that great food is key to making your celebration memorable, so here’s how we can help you with you catering for the perfect winter wedding:
Embrace Seasonal Flavours
When the weather is cold, there’s nothing better than warming, hearty , comforting food. Foods like roasted root veggies and slow cooked meats work really well for this, especially when combined with classic winter flavours, like cinnamon, cranberry and chestnut. Why not try something like a soup for a starter? We offer a gorgeous roasted butternut squash and harissa soup, as part of our premium traditional menu, perfect for the chilly days.
For a main course, something with gravy works really well, like our slow roasted beef brisket with Yorkshire pudding, or even something simple like sausage and mash. This is an especially good dish as it also shows off your personality on your wedding day – who doesn’t love sausage and mash! These are available as part of our standard traditional menu, and it’s a perfect, warming dish to include in your winter menu.
As for desserts, anything warm with rich flavours is wonderful. You could try something like a sticky toffee pudding, or crumble, as these all go down really well, especially with rich creamy custard, during the colder months.
Hot Drinks
A winter wedding isn’t complete without some cosy beverages – and this doesn’t just mean tea and coffee. For those who aren’t drinking, hot chocolate with toppings is a lovely, and literally warming touch. You could have a hot chocolate station with our famous homemade marshmallows! Additionally, warm drinks like mulled wine or spiced cider are great to bring festive feelings into your day!
Even drinks that aren’t hot can work – signature winter cocktails are great for a more sophisticated touch. You could try a spiced cranberry martini, or a whiskey sour infused with orange zest for those winter flavours to complete the big day.
Comforting Evening Food
The evening food doesn’t just have to be little picky bits to keep guests dancing – you can opt for a more hearty and warming buffet, with bowls of chilli or mac and cheese pots for guests to enjoy. Alternatively, hot baps make an ideal and fun choice, or even hot dogs are not only delicious, but they’re also great for warming guests hearts and bellies, and keeping them dancing all night!
Personalised Service
One aspect that separates Green Fig Catering Company from other similar catering companies, is the fact that we don’t outsource ANYTHING. We take on one event at a time and organise everything ourselves, meaning we can ask you questions to personalise your day which matches your vision beautifully. We believe that service can make or break an event, so we provide a service that reflects you as the couple. Whether you’re dreaming of an elegant plated meal, or a more relaxed buffet, we can work with you to ensure every detail makes you happy.
All The Extras
It’s not just food we do, it’s the whole table. We can supply everything from cutlery, crockery, glasswear, tablecloths and more. Deciding on a colour scheme that works for you is crucial, and selecting rich, wintery colours can elevate the whole ‘winter wedding’ theme. We can help and guide you with this, to ensure every last detail of your wedding day is down to a tee.
