Vegan And Vegetarian Wedding Menus
Thinking Of A Vegetarian Or Vegan Wedding ? Read On!
Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Priston Mill blog! After what has been a busy, and really enjoyable summer and autumn we thought it’d be great to give our lovely readers an insight into some of the trends that we've seen this season, and of course provide a little inspiration for those of you planning to get wed in the coming months.
We have noticed a a huge increase in the number of fully vegetarian and vegan weddings recently, with at least one taking place per month at Priston Mill, which is our charming countryside wedding venue, just outside of Bath. We must say we absolutely love the challenge, and the chefs are not only incredible at creating delicious plant-based menus, but they also enjoy the variety that a fully vegetarian or vegan wedding brings.

However, we are also seeing that more and more brides and grooms and their guests are choosing to adapt their diet to meet their personal preferences such as having a gluten free and dairy free diet. Due to the numbers of alternative ingredients being widely available to us now our wonderful chefs Martin and Rosy can adapt more and more of our dishes to meet these needs so you and your guests can have an enjoyable meal on your special day!
However, don’t just take our word for it. These are what our past brides and grooms have to say about our wonderful wedding breakfast dishes:
"We were a bit nervous about how people would respond to all the food being vegan, but all the food was delicious, and we had great feedback from our guests."
"A huge thanks needs to also go to the chefs for the most amazing food. We have had so many people come up to us to talk about how amazing the food was throughout the day!"
"The food was plentiful and extremely tasty. As 6 of us are vegan we would also like to thank the chef for the quality and deliciousness of our main courses and the sublime dessert"
"The venue looked beautiful and again so many of our guests have commented on how lovely the food was. Thank you also for making me feel confident with my gluten free food, which tasted amazing! "
"Please may you pass our massive appreciation and thanks to the catering team too, the food was incredible from start to finish."
"Everyone commented on how amazing the food was and it honestly was so delicious I wish they would do a pop-up restaurant so we could have it again! Even the vegan aubergine item we chose was adored by meat eaters and vegans alike, and my sister claims to have dreams about the potatoes"
"Our guests haven't stopped raving about how delicious the meal was, some even calling it the best three-course meal they've ever eaten! ALSO so many we spoke to said the food was incredible and was the best wedding food they'd ever had! If you could pass that on to the chefs, we would be so grateful. It was so so good!"
