Hello there you gorgeous lot. Planning a wedding in the East Midlands? Let us introduce you to the hottest trend that’s making waves in the world of wedding catering sharing platters! At Thomas the Caterer, we specialize in creating bespoke, tailor-made menus that are as unique as your love story.
Awesome Sharing Platters
So, why are sharing platters becoming the go-to choice for weddings? It’s simple—they’re fun, interactive, and oh-so-delicious. Don’t want to pick just one dish for all guests, don’t worry. You don’t have to. You can build a sharing feast filled with oodles of creative and tasty dishes.
Breaking the Ice
Worried about guests who don’t know each other? When it comes to your wedding catering sharing platters are the perfect icebreaker. They encourage mingling and conversation as guests reach for that next delectable dish. Sharing really is caring.
Flavour Explosion
The beauty of sharing platters is in their variety. Here are some smoking hot ideas:
- Greek Goodies: Feta, olives, tzatziki, grilled veggies, and lamb skewers. Perfect for a sun-soaked summer wedding.
- BBQ Bonanza: Ribs, chicken wings, coleslaw, and corn on the cob. Ideal for a laid-back, outdoor celebration.
- Vegetarian Delight: Grilled halloumi, stuffed peppers, falafel, and a selection of dips.
- Italian Delights: Think bruschetta, caprese salad, prosciutto, and a variety of Italian cheeses. Perfect for a romantic, rustic wedding.
- Asian Fusion: Sushi rolls, dim sum, spring rolls, and satay skewers. Ideal for a modern, chic celebration.
- Farmhouse Feast: Roast chicken, seasonal vegetables, roast new potatoes, and lashings of gravy. Great for a cozy, countryside wedding.
