TABLE PRESENTATION

“Just wanted to say a massive thank you for catering our Wedding on Saturday, the food was truly amazing and the staff service was impeccable and they were so friendly!! Unbelievable team and wish I had gone into the kitchen to personally thank the chefs! The Weddings I have been to the foods always average but everyone commented how gorgeous the food was from the canapés all the way to the evening food! I actually managed to eat 3 canapés which is 3 more than I thought I would!! Mini Yorkshire puds we were all raving about! The main wedding breakfast was spot on! So glad we went for what we did! I think the groom Gavin would like to eat it all again please as unfortunately he chose to do his speech after the food which he is now regretting!! Thank you so much again for everything. Love Mr & Mrs Tomlinson xx”

Creating the Perfect Mediterranean Dish

This time of year has us feeling all Summery, and when the sun comes out we wish for nothing more than to be sat on a Spanish beach taking in the view and sipping a sangria.

What also gets us excited here at Vanilla In Allseasons is the beautiful latin cuisine. Mediterranean food often refers to food originating from regions close to the Mediterranean sea from countries such as Albania, Egypt, Portugal and of course Spain.

IMG_4105

Mediterranean food is rich with flavour, from the beautiful meats which are often included in its dishes such as anchovies and tasty smoked ham. Not only does it taste great but it looks fantastic too. The range of lovely grilled vegetables brings a vibrant set of colours and creates a sweet smell that helps make the Mediterranean cuisine both scrumptious and fragrant.

We at Vanilla love working with Mediterranean food and have a Mediterranean inspired menu. Take a look at page 9 of our formal menu here to find more about our amazing Mediterranean options.

Vanilla staff cooking

There are many great dishes from this area of the world, and we have picked a selection of our favourites to create impressive dishes to serve at your events. Whether risotto is your favourite or perhaps a tuscan stew we really do have something for everyone. Contact us here to discuss your desired menu further.

So go on, jump into Summer and start creating your very own Mediterranean dishes

We were especially impressed by, ‘The North West Wedding Awards Menu 2015’ on the evening of the event in Liverpool, which was extremely good. The varied selection of food from the 5 spiced breast of duck, summer watercress grapefruit salad with a balsamic glaze canapé, to the white chocolate and raspberry créme brûlée with shortbread biscuit were all fantastic.

Have A Hog Roast

We all know that Weddings are often sophisticated delicate occasions to reflect matters of the heart. Flowers are a beautiful touch and hanging lights are just the cherry on the top to add that romantic atmosphere.

However theres no denying, that we all like to really enjoy ourselves tucking into the food and drink as it’s a great thing to bring people together and share a great day, especially when the Summer sun is willing to poke its head out of the clouds.

Here at Vanilla in Allseasons we can provide a delicious hog roast feast, thats great for all the family, especially those who like getting stuck in to tasty meat dishes. It’s a great hearty meal, that looks well presented on the plate, perfect to fill that empty hole after a fun day of dancing and laughing with close friends and family members.

Our Staffordshire Hog Roasts supplied by J.J.J Heathcoats in Bollington are roasted on the spit for 6 hours and you can also choose your own, from a choice of three of our home made juices made by our top chef Simon who has worked in some of the best restaurants of the North West. Our marinades create a unique taste that goes perfectly with the tender meat.

Marquee Weddings

There are many benefits to holding your Wedding party outdoors, especially in the Summer months. There are many fantastic out accessories which can be added to the outdoors, it allows you to open up possibilities of entertainment and catering that could not be attempted indoors or otherwise.

Outdoor decorations such as bunting will add an element of fun to the festivities & celebrations. Many wedding venues are based on Farms or Stately homes which have access to fields and grass, these venues are fantastic for installing a marquee.

10247340_10154366354110696_7692761618385408891_n

We can provide rustic hog roasts in an outdoor environment to add an extra special element to your day. It’s a fantastic way to make your guests really feel involved with the food and bring everyone together with an impressive display.

So, if you are considering a marquee Wedding then take a look at some of the many companies that we work with who provide a fabulous marquee service. We work with several fabulous Marquee providers in the Cheshire area such as:
