What to Check in a Gloucester Hotel Wedding Menu
When you order your wedding menu it may look great on paper but fall flat on the wedding day, so it’s great to ask the questions before committing to anything.
Dietary and Allergen Cover
The catering (menu) and their management of common allergens (e.g. nuts, fish, etc.). Will your vegetarians/vegans/gluten-free guests have proper alternatives to the same size/quality as the main menu items?
Fixed or Flexible Menus
Some wedding venues can only provide a set menu for your wedding, others will provide the menu for your wedding in full but then adapt the number of courses to suit your preferences. You should check which and then work out if you are getting value for money or not.
Tasting Sessions
How a tasting session can save you from a bad wedding menu. Check if the tasting session is included in the price of your wedding, when it will take place and how many guests will be able to attend the tasting session. Some venues charge extra for the tasting session. If you are looking for Gloucester Hotel Wedding Venue, see https://tewkesburypark.co.uk/celebrate/hotel-wedding-venue/gloucester/.
Seasonal and Local Ingredients
Seasonal ingredients tend to taste better and offer more value outside of peak months. Get an idea of where the kitchen is sourcing the main ingredients from for the menu.
Drinks Packages
Are the courses covered by your drinks package included in the price of your wedding menu? Will there be a selection of wines on offer, or will they be fixed price? Typically a Gloucester hotel wedding venue would include champagne in the price of the top tier of drinks package for the champagne toast at the end of the evening.
Portion Size and Service Style
There are different ways to serve food, including plated, buffet and sharing boards. You will want to check how many staff will be serving your guests and how many there will be.
By finding out the answers to these points before you commit to a menu, you will find that there are fewer surprises on the wedding day!
