we're having
Prawn and crayfish cocktail and Tomato and basil soup for those who don't like prawns yorkshire puddings, beef and horseradish cream with pots and veg baileys profiteroles with chocolate sauce and coffee and mints
our buffet is all Mexican related food cos we love Mexican cuisine.
I don't think i have any veggies so i'm alright on that front, they can pick the meat out lol! i'm having to pay extra for the beef course otherwise it would have been pork and i think pork is a bit risky cos not everyone likes it

My favourite subject.... food!
I thought ours was sorted but after a recent illness at Christmas, I've gone right off pate as it's the last thing I had before I was ill. So here's ours... they give them fancy names but this is pretty much what it boils down to...
Canapes on arrival (MIL wants them and is paying for them so thought it only fair that she got to choose them)
Starter Ham and Lentil soup/fruit cocktail of some description
Main Chicken balmoral/pot roasted beef
Dessert Cheesecake/cranochan
Evening buffet Bacon baps or sandwiches (undecided) Pizza Chicken pieces of some sort Wedges
I wanted crowd pleasers and tbh I love the crowd pleasers too so they would be my choices anyway :) I actually cant wait until the dinner although my dress wont allow for looking bloated so I'll have to try to behave myself a bit lol x

CommentAuthorKath2010
There's only 27 for us for the wedding breakfast so the venue said we could have whatever we wanted. To keep costs realistic though we have chosen:
Main: Roast Loin of Pork or Roast Leg of Lamb with all the trimmings. Dessert: White Choc & Raspberry Baked Cheesecake, Caramelised Apple Tart Tatin, Strawberry Shortbread, Warm Choc Brownie, Sticky Toffee Pudding or Cheese board.
The kids are just having half portions of the options above.
In the evening we are having a sweet buffet & a cake buffet! We are also having canape's (because we aren't sitting down for wedding breakfast until 5pm didn't want to anything too heavy in the evening):
King Prawns wrapped in filo pastry with a sweet dipping sauce Smoked Salmon and Herb Cream Cheese on Rye Bread Sweet Potato Pancakes with a Mango,Lime & Chilli Salsa Pork,Honey and Sesame lollipops Ham, Quail Egg & Chips
Now I've written all the evening stuff down it seems I have contradicted my previous statement of nothing too heavy! Hey ho!!
CommentAuthorDonda
Ohh food, love food :)))
We had a choice of 7 of each course to whittle down to 3 choices of each course, that was hard coz I'd have had the lot...haha...
Our 3 choices of courses are:
STARTER Home made country veg soup with crusty rolls Home-made chicken liver pate and oat cakes Prawn cocktail
MAIN Roast Serlion Beef with Yorkshire puds and all the trimmings Roast Turkey, stuffing, pigs in blankets with all the trimmings (xmas dinner, as ours is an xmas wedding) Pork Medalions with seasonal veg and roast potatoes
We all have to pre-choose and we have to let the venue know what how many of each we are having.

We aren't having a starter we are having what our venue calls light bites canapes instead which will consist or rustic bread, houmus, olives things like that Main - Spiced Morroccan Chicken with grilled veg and rice Dessert - Making my own cheesecakes in jars
in austria you have the wedding cake straight after the ceromony, so that serves as canapes i suppose, strange but interesting were also having drinks on arrival.
the meal is served about 2 hours later
potatoe and leek soup or tureen of pumpkin soup
sorbet
austrian loin with potaoe wedges green beans and onions or vegetarian cordon blue
apple studel and cream or chocolate pancakes
we ove the slightly different menu (particly becaus were getting marriesd abroad so the offer for something slightly different, yet stilly homely was really exciting to us)
for our party back home were undecided on either pork and stuffin batches with chips or finger buffet consistnig of sandwhich selection, halumi and fruit kebabs, chicken drumsticks, mini quiche, spring rolls, nuts and crisps
we will also have a sweet buffet at the party and of course wedding cake
