Wedding season is gaining momentum, but I'm determined to give as many as I can a 'pause and rewind'. Today's wedding provided a rural Carmarthenshire setting of old manor estate with grounds dating back to 1605, pretty much the perfect wedding venue. Bluebells, sprawling lawns and hanging lavender, woodland fairies (well kind of) and as expected, a hundred ravenous guests.
No pressure, I can cater that!
What nicer than a classic roast beef platter? Yes cooked to perfection. You need the temperature of 57% in the middle to get a perfect pinky middle. (Use a thermometer, only way of knowing). For the veggie option, a giant israeli couscous roast aubergine dish.
Dessert was a trio of creme brule, chocolate torte and Eaton mess. As we laid up the tables with this slates of trios, people started to gather around and stare (in a good way).
So a bit more about the setting. Waunifor has holiday cottages, 2 event venue halls and can be booked out for musical events, concerts and art exhibitions (as well as for weddings - we are their dedicated caterer). The website has more info so check it out at www.waunifor.com.
Time for a brew and bye for now.
