Weddings, Catering and Design

Weddings, catering and design, they all go hand in hand and it is essential that they all compliment each other.

It always excites me when someone creates a new look, be it colour scheme, table decoration or name place, especially when Lime can then use thier creative juices and come up some ideas to tailor the catering on and off the plate.

This bride had a colour scheme of navy blue and bright pink, it sounds quite bright but worked brilliantly in the reception barn. Inidan touches such as blue and pink elephants as name places and the girls favours were bright metal bangles. It really had the wow factor…

Catering for the Danes at Bartholomew Barns

This weekend Lime catered for a lovely couple at Batholomew Barns and amongst the guests were the brides family from Denmark. The catering was particularly British including a yummy selection of canapes such as our fantastic mini fish and chips, followed by a succulent Hog Roast with salads and hot sides and then a couple of tasty desserts including our amazing malted barley ice cream (tasting required!)

The Danes however left their mark with a fabulous Danish wedding cake, featured here by Guy who assembled the tower.  A Danish song,  favours of lego men as well as plenty of Aquavit left a fun and unique memory of the day.

For any unusual or regional catering needs, just let us know…

Soup; it doesn't have to be dull!

Soup; it doesn’t have to be dull!

When picking a starter, many people glance over the soups as they think, that when catering for a party or wedding, soup just isn’t special enough. We recently catered for a wedding at The Walled Gardens, Cowdry, Midhurst and the starter was a fabulous trio of soups. Catering for all tastes on offer was a cold, spicy Gazpacho a warming Roasted butternut squash and a funky Pea soup with a coconut froth.  All lovingly topped and nestled on a vintage style plate with a dainty flower it was certainly anything but dull.

For presentation ideas for traditional dishes, just ask and we will give you lots of catering ideas.
