Your Chef was honoured to cater the wedding celebration of Katie and Chris at their picturesque Cornish venue. The couple envisioned an elegant, intimate affair for 120 guests, with a focus on locally-sourced seasonal ingredients and beautifully presented dishes.

We began the reception with a selection of artisanal canapés, including Cornish Crab blinis, seasonal wild mushroom tartlets and baby beetroot and Hummus crostinis.

For the seated dinner, guests savoured a first course of freshly caught Cornish Hake en paupiette, served with garlic butter sauce and a selection of accompaniments. A selection of mini desserts and an opulent selection of local cheeses was on offer to finish the meal in local style.
