Who'd have thought that it costs more to hire caterers per head than to take your guests to a top restaurant, certainly not me. If you're having a small intimate wedding, then you might want to think about hiring out a private room at a restaurant, this could work out better value.
We've chosen to have our reception in a Church hall, leaving us free to choose our own caterers. It's really hard knowing who to go for unless you have a recommendation, although budget's going to play a part in your decision. In the end we've chosen a local restaurant Miltons to cater for us, because we've really enjoyed the quality of their food and what you get for your pound compares well with others. It's a husband and wife team that run the restaurant and catering business. Sarah is really well orgainsed and accommodating and has made some excellent suggestions without forcing her point of view.
Neither of us like formal sit down dinners at weddings, so platters are going to be served to each table, which should get guests chatting. Sarah and her husband are real foodies and clearly love coming up with suggestions for dishes, so there have been no shortage of options. I'm particularly looking forward to the tower of desserts that each table will be served, definitely going to be the highlight for me!
If you're looking into getting a caterer and live within the M25, here are the contact details for Miltons:
020 8979 5662
5 Ashley Road, Station Approach, Hampton, TW12 2HY
I'll be able to let you know just how yummy the food is after I've eaten it on Saturday!
