Drinks - What To Provide, When.

The options for your drinks reception are such fun; you need not stick to the traditional glass of fizz. In Spring/Summer you might opt for a glass of Pimms or perhaps a Berry Bellini. The Gin and Elderflower Fizz is a lovely refreshing tipple on a hot Summer’s day. In Autumn/Winter you may want to go for something warming such as Mulled Cider or Winter Pimms. You could offer your guests a couple of different options, perhaps a glass of fizz and a bottle of Peroni? If you do, we would recommend catering for a little more than one drink per person. If you give someone a choice quite often they will choose both!

During the wedding breakfast, we would recommend you allow for half a bottle of wine per head. This guide tends to work out, as those who are not drinking much will be offset by those enjoying a couple of glasses or more.

Our Event Managers are extremely knowledgeable, and can recommend a wine to best compliment your chosen dish.

Jugs of iced water are set at each table free of charge, but bottled water is available if you would prefer.

We have discovered that a small touch which goes a long way is a ‘soft drinks tab’. For a very reasonable amount you can pop a tab behind the bar so that during the meal, should your tee total guests fancy something other than water, they do not have to pay for it themselves. You can also set up a tab for your guests in the evening if you wish.

Finally, you can’t forget to include a toast to the happy couple. A glass of fizz is the traditional toast drink during the speeches, and we have an extensive list of sparkling wines and champagnes for you to choose from.
