A relatively new kid on the block when it comes to wedding catering, bowl food has slowly taken off as a funky alternative to the traditional sit down wedding breakfasts. In fact, it’s so cool that the royal couple, Prince Harry and Meghan gave their wedding reception a modern twist by including bowl food in their wedding breakfast. Yes, bowl food wedding catering has the royal seal of approval and if it’s good enough for the palace..
So what exactly is bowl food?
Anything you want, that’s the beauty. You can pretty much serve any of your favourite dishes in small portions. Giving your guests the option to try lots of different flavours rather than one single plated main. Add in the fact that your guests don’t need to be seated – they can be on their feet, mixing, mingling and generally being merry while they eat. Wonderful for outdoor weddings where you might prefer a relaxed festival vibe. Yet it works equally well in a venue where you can offer variety and showcase all your favourite foods.
