A Cotswolds wedding often brings together a country house or private estate, a weekend of guests and a meal that feels connected to the setting. We help turn those details into a clear catering brief without assuming a venue partnership or local office.
Country-house food with a relaxed sense of place
Access, accommodation, outdoor service and the rhythm of a wedding weekend can matter as much as the menu. Tell us whether you are planning a marquee, a private house, an estate or a holiday property so suitable options can be considered for the way your celebration will work.

- Wedding Breakfast: canapés, a seated starter and main course, dessert and vegetarian alternatives.

Taste Before the Big Day
For many weddings, a wedding menu tasting may be arranged before the event so you can experience the food, discuss presentation and refine the menu. Tastings are subject to the selected caterer, menu and event requirements, and any tasting fee is confirmed separately.
Full Wedding Catering Package
If you want more than one food moment across the day, we can discuss a coordinated wedding catering package in one enquiry. The final combination, staffing and pricing are agreed around your venue, timings, guest numbers and budget.
- Arrival: canapés and welcome food for the first part of the celebration.
- Main celebration: a wedding breakfast, sharing feast or fine dining approach shaped around your day.
- Evening: pizza, BBQ, hog roast or another suitable evening food option where it fits the brief.

Planning a smaller wedding?
For a smaller Cotswolds wedding, private-chef-led catering can suit a holiday house, private home, garden or small venue where guests want to eat together without a large production. See the national intimate wedding page.
Menus can be developed around seasonal preferences, outdoor service, dietary requirements and the facilities available at the property. Include those details with your date and guest numbers.
Suitable suppliers are matched based on your event requirements and Cotswolds location. A page visit is not a promise of availability on a particular date.
