WEDDING FEASTING

We take food seriously in Suffolk. Surrounded by local producers and makers, your Suffolk-focused wedding menu will be fresh, seasonal, and deeply connected to the land and sea.

Our resident caterer is chef Peter Harrison, a celebrated Suffolk chef known for his creative use of local ingredients. Passionate about showcasing the region’s agricultural and coastal produce, he blends traditional techniques with modern flair in his dishes. With a focus on sustainability and supporting local farmers and fishermen, Peter has built a strong reputation in Suffolk’s food scene, earning praise for his dedication to fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Peter will work in collaboration with you to develop and create a completely personal menu that reflects both your tastes and the best of Suffolk produce. Once you’ve designed your menu, you’ll be invited to a personal tasting session at Peter’s kitchen, where you’ll be able to try a selection of canapés and your complete menu, with some alternative dishes to try alongside.

Peter’s advice? come hungry!

How it works

  • Your ideas

    We’ll introduce you to our chef, Peter Harrison and we’ll encourage you to share your likes, dislikes, favourite restaurants or a memorable meal you’ve enjoyed. All of these suggestions will help to build a picture of the types of foods you enjoy as a couple. We also have an 'inspiration menu' to help you get started!

  • Your tasting

    Around 6-9 months before your wedding, you’ll be invited to a personal tasting at Peter’s kitchen near Butley Priory. You’ll try a selection of canapés and dishes for your three courses that reflect your tastes and some of the best local, seasonal produce Suffolk has to offer.

  • Your menu

    After your tasting, we’ll send you a copy of your complete menu wording. Worried about dietaries? Peter’s team can adapt your menu to accommodate all your guests dietary needs, in advance of your wedding day.

    On your wedding day, our smartly-dressed and friendly catering team will be here to provide a smooth service for drinks and dinner. All you need to do is turn up and feast!
