Compass Inn Weddings

No this isn’t the start of one of my dreadful jokes it’s some of the things the chefs have been cooking for the last couple weddings.  I know I’ve blogged before about how proud we are to be able to offer an individual approach to each and every wedding held here, but I think the last few weeks have proved how diverse we can be.  Much to the dismay of our head chef Karl, we actually have a picture of him cooking a giant paella for a wedding a couple of weeks ago (see below) and the next week we had a bride and groom who chose a full afternoon tea for their meal then a pig roast for their night party. The biggest challenge our kitchen brigade have faced recently though, was undoubtedly the completely vegan wedding menu we cooked for a bride and groom, This involved a great deal of coordinating with the bride, and enabled the chefs to work with several products they had never used before. As a result the staff got to taste several “trial runs” all of which were pretty well received. Many people even said they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the vegan cheesecake and a normal cheesecake.  I can hardly claim we’re vegan specialists, but it was certainly fun to cater for, and it’s something else we can say we’ve now done.
