Why is it called a Wedding Breakfast?

The meal most likely isn’t going to be a Full English with all the trimmings. But if that’s your style, it definitely can be! Anything goes here at Fossil Food Catering. 

The simplest explanation behind why your wedding catering feast is referred to as a ‘Wedding Breakfast’ is that this is the first meal you will share together as newlyweds after the ceremony has taken place. Call it whatever you like – either way, we would love to be a part of it!

Do you cater for dietary requirements & allergies?

Absolutely – we take both very seriously! If you could please kindly advise us in advance of any guests who we need to adjust the menu for. We feel it is important that these meals are created with the same depth of creativity and imagination as the original – never an afterthought. 

Where possible, we will create a similar option adjusting accordingly, so that all guests feel included. We have a 5* environmental health rating and follow strict guidelines for dietary requirements and allergies.

I LOVE {insert amazing food choice here} but I don’t see this on your menu – can we have this for our wedding catering?

YES – we love catering for bespoke wedding breakfasts. Our menus online are for inspiration to show style and ethos but by all means, this does not mean you are limited to these options. We love to hear what you both love to eat and your menu should reflect your personality and what you both love! Let’s talk ideas – drop us a message!

Where do you source your produce?

Sourcing locally is important to us. We have so many awesome local suppliers in Devon and Dorset and we want to support them! We also grow a lot of produce on the land here too. The beauty of wedding catering is very often your menu is planned in advance — so where possible, we will grow produce with your menu specifically in mind. 

Secondly, when sourcing suppliers, ethical and environmental practices are just as important to us as quality. We understand we are catering for many people each weekend at a time. Therefore, we are very aware of our impact on the environment and welfare.

 Should I provide food for the wedding photographer?

Yes – your photographer and other suppliers will be working hard behind the scenes delivering an awesome service! It is only fair they keep up their energy levels with a good ol’ hearty meal. Most, in fact, have it within their contract nowadays. We are happy to feed your photographer, videographer and band at a small fraction of the cost. Please make us aware of their dietary requirements in advance and we will make sure they are looked after!

Do you serve evening food?

We do – we have a list of ideas here or we would love to hear your suggestions! We find the perfect evening food to be something you are your guests can grab and enjoy on the go. Now is the time to dance the night away, so your evening food acts as the perfect fuel for your celebrations.

You mention personal service – what does that really mean?

Relationships are at the heart of our business. After all, we are in the business of love. We purposely cap our bookings every year to ensure the quality of our service from your booking right through to the big day itself. 

Even after, if you want to stay in touch, as many of our couples have done in the past! We like to work this way so we can dedicate the time and attention every booking deserves and needs to plan a wedding. The personal service means that we — Kirsty & Steve — will always be at your wedding day. On a busy peak weekend, we will be with you on the day with our amazing team.

Do you host tasters so we can try your food?

Yes – we love welcoming couples into our home to host tasters! It is the perfect time to get to know each other more and make changes if you wish to your menu. We also set aside unlimited time to get stuck into planning and answering your questions. Tasters are free of charge with a booking with us.

How much do caterers cost for weddings?

That really depends on how many courses you are looking to be served. Here at Fossil Food Catering, we like to keep our costs super simple with no hidden extras. 

We don’t charge you extra because you want  X, Y or Z on the menu – we have one set price to avoid any unwanted surprises. Our prices include staff, complimentary tasters, wedding planning assistance throughout, tea and coffee and serveware. If you would like a quote from us – we would love to hear from you. Please drop us a message to discuss more.

Do you include waiting staff? If so, how many staff will be at my wedding?

We do – our team are all hand-chosen by us, and we never work with an agency. We know this bunch personally and are confident they all share our passion for making your day the best day ever! 

Will you serve our drinks?

Not a problem – we will serve your drinks for your canape reception right up until the end of your wedding breakfast – including filling your flutes for speeches, too. We don’t charge anything extra – just happy to help!
