Catering, the view from Smallpiece Catering

This week we welcome Gemma Braybrook from one of our wonderful preferred supplier caterers, Smallpiece Catering, to chat to us about all things food related...

Catering is a demanding job with long hours yet here at Smallpiece we thrive on the variety & creativity that we get to have with each of our couples! Every Wedding is so different & unique & we love taking the time to understand each couple’s vision & overall feel for their day which enables us to create a bespoke menu.

One of our favourite parts of the day is seeing the reaction to the food, we often have guests complimenting us on portion size, flavour, presentation & how it differs from the “standard Wedding Food” they have experienced before.
Our Beef Wellington is certainly a show stopper, it is becoming one of our most popular dishes & has been shared on many occasions at Penton - it is certainly a firm favourite with Guy!

If Sarahjane, our Office Manager, was to get married again she would opt for one of our Antipasti Sharing Platters to start as she loves the variety they offer & the social element of sharing alongside guests.

​Individual Steak Pie for Main as they are always so popular & flavoursome & one of our Trio of Dessert combinations to end; but it must include our individual Lemon Meringue Pies… We have to keep her out of the kitchen when they are on a menu!!

Penton is a fellow family run business which mirrors the same values and ethos as we pride ourselves in. They genuinely care & go the extra mile to make sure they stand out from their competitors.
​
We have been part of Penton’s journey from the very beginning & feel privileged to still be working alongside the team to ensure we deliver on every event.

Here at Smallpiece we really invest in being part of a couple's journey & this starts even before our bookings are confirmed when we put together a completely bespoke & personal dining experience in our stylish Tasting Room!

Being such an integral part of a special day, which have often been in the planning & dreamt of for quite some time is a real honour for us & something we will never tire of.

Thank you so much for your awesome blog Gemma, looking forward to welcoming you back in a couple of weeks for one of the first weddings of 2019!
