Food Inspiration for Your Wedding at Manor by the Lake

Supporting local is not just a trend; it’s a commitment to quality and sustainability. At Manor by the Lake, we take pride in offering locally sourced ingredients to create a menu that not only tantalises taste buds but also supports local farmers and producers.

Imagine savouring the freshest, seasonal produce, carefully curated to elevate your wedding breakfast, leaving you all wanting seconds.

Speaking of seasons, why not let the time of year influence your menu? From spring-inspired salads to hearty winter stews, we offer seasonal sensations that showcase the best of each time of year.

Your wedding menu can be a culinary journey through the seasons. In winter we look to roasted meats, seasonal veg and warming dishes, where as the spring and summer brings in a world of fresh and vibrant foods. Autumn then comes along with a rich palette of colours and seasonings, but again, you are not limited to any of these, incorporate them all if you like, everything is entirely your choice.

What is food without a drink to wash it all down with? Along with seasonal dishes comes the tipples that pair perfectly with each. Wow at your drink’s reception with personalised couple cocktails and mocktails. Think summer Pimm’s and elderflower spritz, winter cocoa and mulled wine, spring mojitos and autumn toffee apple ciders… the list goes on.

Your love story is one of a kind, and so should be your dining experience. Manor by the Lake offers a variety of dining styles to suit your taste and personality:

Informal Delights: Picture live cooking stations, sizzling BBQs, and charming hog roasts. Opt for grazing stations, picnics, or delightful canapés for a laid-back, intimate feel. Whether inside or under the open sky, let your culinary choices set the tone for a relaxed celebration.

Banquet Bliss: If you’re dreaming of a festival-style celebration, banqueting tables are the way to go. Inside or outside, your guests can share in the joy of communal dining that capture the essence of togetherness.

Formal Elegance: For a more formal affair, imagine beautifully set tables adorned with shared platters at the centre. You can choose to let your guests indulge in plated dishes and multi-course feasts, creating a dining experience that is both sophisticated and heartfelt.

Why settle for one when you can have the best of both worlds? We encourage couples to embrace culinary fusion, combining different styles and cuisines to create a menu that reflects your unique love story.
