The Best Way To Eat Your Way Through Your Wedding Day With Berry Blue…

Top Tips for Planning Your Wedding Food at Mickleton Hills Farm

Food is one of the most memorable parts of any wedding day, and at Mickleton Hills Farm it should reflect both your personalities and the venue’s relaxed countryside setting. Long after the celebration ends, guests will still be talking about the meal they enjoyed together.

With its beautiful rustic charm, exposed beams and views across the Cotswolds, the venue naturally lends itself to warm, sociable dining styles that bring guests together.

Choose Food That Reflects You

Your wedding menu should be a reflection of what you love to eat. Whether you prefer a traditional three-course wedding breakfast, relaxed sharing platters, BBQ feasts or grazing tables, barn venues like Mickleton Hills Farm work perfectly with any option.

Celebrating Love Through Food

At Berry Blue, we pride ourselves on creating bespoke wedding menus tailored to each couple. We love working with couples to incorporate favourite dishes, family traditions or something a little different. We have also created fusion-style menus that blend flavours from different cuisines, allowing us to design something truly personal.

Keep It Seasonal

Seasonal, locally sourced produce always tastes best and suits a countryside venue perfectly. Fresh ingredients not only enhance flavour but also bring vibrant colours and sustainability to your wedding menu.

Start Conversations Early

Talking to your caterer early in the planning process helps shape the flow of your day. From menu ideas and presentation styles to timings and budgets, early communication ensures everything runs smoothly. A good catering team will work closely with you to bring your ideas to life while helping you make practical decisions for the venue and guest numbers.

Drinks Reception Ideas

Canapés are a popular choice during the drinks reception, with around three per guest per hour being a good guide. Alternatively, creative options such as grazing tables, antipasti stations or interactive food displays can add a fun and relaxed element to the celebration.

Consider Timings

A traditional three-course wedding breakfast usually takes around two hours, though speeches or guest menu choices may extend this. Planning timings with your caterer & venue ensures a smooth flow to the day.

Evening Food

Evening food keeps guests energised for the celebrations. Relaxed options such as street-food style dishes, sharing platters or live cooking stations work beautifully within the rustic barn setting & the stunning courtyard area.

Keeping the same caterer for your evening menu ensures a seamless dining experience, maintaining consistency in flavour, style, and service from start to finish.

At Berry Blue, we absolutely love catering at Mickleton Hills Farm and working alongside their fantastic team. Having a strong relationship with the venue means everything runs seamlessly behind the scenes. From coordinating timings to setting up the barn for service, our teams work closely together to ensure your day flows effortlessly so you can simply relax and enjoy every moment.
