We are very pleased to say that the sun shone for them over Heaton House farm and a wonderful day was had by all. A huge congratulations to Andrew and Cara from the Vanilla in Allseasons team x

A Little Indulgence

Everyone knows that good things come in small packages. Somehow, any dish introduced in miniature form becomes twice as irresistible. Desserts are something that particularly benefit from this.

Some dessert recipes can leave you feeling too full but these smaller versions of classics are a great way to complete a meal or include in a buffet at events. Ranging from dinky pies to tiny tarts and bite-size cakes, why not bring these mini dessert dishes to the table?

We’ve rounded up five petite plates – including peanut butter and chocolate cheese cake, golden Victoria sponges and pear, vanilla and smoke cakes – that are sure to take your fancy as well satisfy that sweet tooth.

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cheesecakes

Mini Cakes - Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cheesecakes

Chocolate can be quite overwhelming (but very, very enjoyable!) in dessert recipes. This cheesecake recipe – combining roasted peanuts, caramel, peanut butter and chocolate – provides a mouthwatering idea for desserts that just melts in the mouth.

Golden Victoria Sponges

Mini Cakes - Victoria Sponges

This British favourite looks even more appetising with the cream and jam bursting from the sides. What a great idea to accompany your afternoon tea, don’t you agree?

Mini Guinness Desserts

Mini Cakes - Guinness Desserts

A healthy twist on the Italian Tiramisu, this delectable coffee and chocolate dessert is accompanied with a fresh, creamy yoghurt top.

Pear, Vanilla and Smoke Cakes

Mini Cakes - Pear, Vanilla and Smoke Cakes

Another small indulgence, that will tantalise those tastebuds: “The smokiness is balanced by the aromatic freshness of the pear, and the nutty dark chocolate pulls these contrasting flavours together”.

Trio of Desserts

Mini Cakes - Dessert Trio

Why not indulge in more than one dessert? Here, at Vanilla in Allseasons, we offer three miniature versions of your favourite dishes, including lemon tart, meringue with fruit and chocolate brownie.

If these don’t tickle those tastebuds, we can tailor make to match your preferences. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any queries.

Kicking Off The Wedding Season in Style!

It was another busy weekend for the Vanilla in Allseasons team with the hectic wedding season now up and running.

On Saturday we catered for a spectacular wedding at the beautiful Capesthorne Hall then on Sunday we were up in the gorgeous hills of Rushton Spencer in the fabulous surroundings of Heaton House Farm.

Of course, our team were kept very busy ensuring that the newly married couples and thier guests were kept refreshed and happy throughout the day. However, we did manage to grab a few quick snaps to share with you…

Fantastic Feedback

Recently we catered for a lovely wedding at Consall Hall & Gardens. The gorgeous bride Natalie got in touch to thank us. She gave us some fantastic feedback.

“Hi Adam & Simon,

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for catering our wedding and doing such an amazing job. Everyone couldn’t believe how delicious (and generous!) the food was and so many people said it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding.

The waiters and waitresses were all great too – so thanks again! Will highly recommend you!

Take care,
Natalie”

Thanks Natalie, we are thrilled to have been a part of your day.

Some 5 Star Feedback!

Recently, we catered for the wedding of a lovely couple, Louise and Paul. They sent some fantastic feedback-

“I wanted to say a huge thank you for such an amazing wedding. It was so personal and all our friends have said that it was a stunning venue. You have such a fantastic team. Everyone was raving about the caterers, they were absolutely fantastic. Someone even compared the meal to a Michelin star!”

Thanks Louise and Paul! We really enjoyed being a part of your fantastic wedding and we are thrilled that you and your guests were so impressed by our food.

A Magical Tipi Wedding

Yesterday we catered for beautiful wedding in Prestatyn, rural Wales. The happy couple Paul and Ellie, selected a gorgeous Tipi tent provided by Event-in-a-Tent.

Inside, long tables were beautifully decorated with pretty wild flowers and elegant rustic touches and as the the evening fell, twinkling lights gave it a lovely romantic vibe.

Co-ordinated by our good friend Andrea Swift at Fabulous Day wedding planning, the event had a sweet vintage feel to it all.






Ellie, our lovely Bride had organised a pilot stunt show for her husband and guests. The pilot flew the plane all the way from Oxford to perform! It was fantastic to watch and added a really different and exciting feel to the day.


Sticking with a quirky style, our food was served in a brilliantly unique and unusual style. 9 willing guests were selected as carvers and each one was given an apron, chopping board and slipper of delicious roasted JJJ Heathcotes beef. They then carved the beef to the other guests on their table. Each of these selected carvers did a brilliant job and obviously had lots of fun. The beef was served with Yorkshire puds, roasted veg and a Merlot Jus.

A fantastic day was had by all and we thoroughly enjoyed being a part of it!

Thankyou!

Recently, we catered for Victoria and Hass’ wedding. As well as a more traditional wedding breakfast, we put on a wrap bar in the evening. This sort of evening food always goes down well, it offers the later guests something substantial whilst the daytime guests can nibble as they please and keep the energy up for the dancefloor.

We received this lovely thank you note from Julie and Nick –

“Hi Adam

Just a quick note to thank you & the team for helping make Victoria & Hass’
wedding day so special. The main wedding breakfast looked amazing & was
absolutely delicious as well and all served in a perfectly professional but
very friendly way. I personally couldn’t squeeze in any of the evening wrap
bar but I heard lots of comments about what a good idea it was & delicious
as well!

Thanks again – it’s been a pleasure,
Regards
Julie & Nick”

We are so glad we could help to make the wedding extra special. A big thankyou for the feedback and a huge congratulations to Hass & Victoria!

Thankyou!

Last week we catered for a wonderful wedding at Heaton House Farm. We love to cater for such special events and our team thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Of course, it is our job to deliver the best service possible, but it really does make all of our hard work worthwhile when we receive such lovely, genuine feedback…

“This is NOT an enquiry but a note of appreciation. On Saturday 18th August, you catered at Heaton House Farm for the wedding of my daughter, Jenny Hillebrandt, to Graham Beaver. I was aware of the menu beforehand and thought it sounded excellent but was even more impressed on the day. The presentation was stylish and the food tasted superb. Very many thanks.
Sally Hillebrandt”

Thankyou so much for your kind words Sally, it really is appreciated!
