Menus

The following menus are just a small example of what we can produce.

We relish a conversation about your style of wedding; particular themes and ideas and whether you have any particular dishes that are special to you as a couple. From this we then discuss possible menus options with you – Once agreed, we will cook this menu at the tasting here in the Beetroot Barn and then it can be critiqued and amended as required.
