What main factors do you think a couple need to consider when booking their wedding catering

They should always be thinking how they can improve from previous weddings that they have attended. With Sausage & Pear, the bride and groom are free to have the menu and presentation they have always wanted. There are no fixed menus with us, only suggestions. Its their big day and we can be flexible as the client needs us to be.

What is really popular at the moment in wedding catering

Sharing platters are popular right now. Sausage & Pear invented the term ‘Going posh’. The bride and groom can have a posh BBQ, a posh paella, a posh finger buffet or a posh three course wedding breakfast. Going Posh means plattering up the food and serving it straight to each table. We call this style of catering Posh as the guests do not have to queue up for their food, which we find incredibly old-fashioned. It also speeds up the service, meaning the poor guests on the last table do not have to wait forever to eat..

What is your personal favourite sort of catering

The style of catering I’m most proud of are both the Posh BBQ and our fine dining dinners. As we invented Posh, this will always be close to my heart. I am also very fond of fine dining, as we have some very talented chefs and I’m always blown away by the style and presentation that they consistently use.
