Wedding Menus for a Barn Wedding in Herefordshire

Food and drink should feel like part of the celebration, not a formal pause in the middle of it. At Lyde Court, couples can choose wedding catering that suits the setting, the season, the pace of the day and the feel of a relaxed countryside wedding.

You might want a generous wedding breakfast with everyone’s favourite trimmings, a summer BBQ served on sharing platters, a vintage afternoon tea with tiered crockery, à la carte dining created by experienced chefs, or late-night evening food that keeps guests going between the dancefloor and the bar.

The examples below give a useful snapshot of what your wedding food and drink could look like at different price points. For full menus, drinks packages, seasonal choices, dietary requirements and final pricing, please get in touch and we will shape the food and drink around your plans.
