Why should a couple choose B&R Dining as their caterer?

B&R dining is a wedding & events caterer, bringing creativity, experience and our warm generous hospitality to any event. We want to wow our guests with our beautiful presentation and fresh flavoured foods as we have a real passion for food and service.  In addition to this,  we are transparent with our pricing and flexible with our service too. We want to deliver your perfect wedding!

Tell us a little bit about yourselves?

Denise and I started the business back in 2017, I have been a chef since the age of 15 and worked in Europe & UK.  We started B&R Dining because we both wanted to offer a more bespoke, flexible and professional catering company based on the quality of our food, service communication and to put all our clients at the centre of all our decisions. Poor old Denise was an estate agent before I dragged her into this wedding and events world, but she loves it and with her keen eye for detail and passion for the business, she manages our front of house teams fantastically.

Do you customise the menu to suit a couples taste or theme?

Yes we do have a priced brochure, but this is only a guide, we want our clients to have the wedding or event they have dreamed of, so nothing is off the table. All clients are given the space to make the right decision for them.

Do you offer food tastings before the big day?

We do offer free tastings, all our tastings are bespoke and individual to you, you choose the wedding food you would like to try. We offer a selection of canapes, mains plated or feast and desserts. After the food you can have a chat with our front of house team and chefs. The tasting is free for up to two people, but guests can bring more and often do so.

What’s included in your catering service? Do you provide staff, crockery, glassware, etc?

Yes in our brochure all things are included, once we have some information we are able to put an estimate together, the estimate will always include everything from food, crockery, glassware, linen and any catering service equipment if required, staff and of course VAT. Prices are transparent, so no hidden extras. Once a booking fee is paid you can change anything right up to a month before the final invoice is due.

How far in advance should a couple book?

Well if we are free you can book, but normally couples are doing this up to 12 months before, if your planned wedding is in the busy months, May, June, July & August the earlier you book, the better. This also gives people time to save, I got married myself last year and it surprised me how much planning is required!

What’s your most popular dish for weddings?

The bookings we have received recently have been all about feast sharing food. This style of food is so poplar at the moment. It gets guests talking and breaks the ice. You can also decide the amount you place onto your plate which is always a good thing. Feasts and sharing are informal but served in a formal environment, which is just a super relaxed way to eat.

What is the most unique wedding dish you have created?

We have created loads of different and unique dishes icluding being taught by a Sri Lankan Grandmother of her tradional village’s dishes! This was just so her granddaughter could have food from her youth, it was such a great experience. More recently we have completed a tasting for a couple from Kyrgyz, it involves lots of research, but the chefs here, really enjoy learning new cuisines.

What advice would you give a bride choosing her wedding menu?

We would always say go with the things you and the groom love, it really is your day. All your friends & family will be happy with what you choose, try and not to stress over your decisions. The day goes so quicky so relax and take it all in and let your professional suppliers take the pressure off and deliver you both the perfect day.
