Ginger Snap Full Description

Delicious, Seasonal Catering Crafted for Your Wedding in Cumbria

Ginger Snap is a family-run catering company based on a farm in Hethersgill, Cumbria. For over 18 years, they’ve been passionate about creating memorable wedding menus that celebrate the best of British seasonal food. Their dishes are thoughtfully crafted using sustainably sourced ingredients that reflect the beautiful local landscape—perfect for couples who want fresh, authentic flavors on their special day.

From Our Farm to Your Wedding Table

What makes Ginger Snap truly special is their deep connection to the land. Many herbs come straight from their own farm, and hedgerows provide natural treats like sloe, brambles, and damsons. They honour every ingredient by preserving seasonal produce through drying, pickling, and fermenting—minimizing waste and maximizing flavor. This means your wedding menu will evolve with the seasons, offering vibrant dishes that suit a sunny summer celebration or a cozy winter wedding.

Expert-Led Menus Tailored to Your Vision

Led by Tania Burton and her husband James Burton—a MasterChef: The Professionals finalist—Ginger Snap combines expert culinary skills with a passion for food. Whether you’re dreaming of a formal sit-down dinner, a laid-back buffet, or creative canapés, their team will work closely with you to design a bespoke catering experience. They bring imagination and professionalism to every detail, ensuring your wedding food is as unique as your love story.

Amazing food and lovely people too!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with the guys at Ginger Snap. Communication before the big day was excellent and they were both professional and friendly. Their food was incredible! We received some lovely feedback from the happy couple and their guests. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and look forward to welcoming them back to Lancrigg very soon.

Attention to Detail

The tasting at their farm let us appreciate their commitment to using local, seasonal produce as well as fantastic flavours! On the day Gingersnap took great care of us & our guests, many of which had dietary requirements. We heard from these guests how the team’s attention to detail & excellent service allowed them to enjoy the day and excellent food without worry. While James was busy in the kitchen, Tania oversaw everything else, ensuring my wife and I got to have canapes & a glass of fizz

Their Food is Absolutely Fantastic

We used Ginger Snap for our wedding earlier this summer. We cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish Tania and James were attentive, helpful and supportive, including helping us personalise the food and using their experience to let us know what would and wouldn't work on the day. Most importantly, their food is absolutely fantastic - we loved their focus on local and seasonal, and the creativity in their dishes is extremely impressive while still delicious.

Cannot Recommend them enough

ania and James catered our wedding at Gosford House in July and I cannot recommend them enough. From initial booking enquiry, it was very clear that Tania had everything under control and was someone that we wanted to run our wedding catering. The menu testing at their farm left us feeling confident and excited about what they were going to do on the day. The food on the day was outstanding. All the guests were raving about the canapés and the meal.

Outstanding

Ginger Snap Catering were absolutely *outstanding* in providing the catering and bar service for our Lake District wedding in August 2024. Even before day 1, Tania and James’ attention to detail and commitment to the highest quality food was evident. Unlike other catering companies, Ginger Snap didn’t have an extensive menu or pricing list online. We found out the reason for this, after an initial Zoom call, when Tania sent us a uniquely designed menu that catered to our specific cultural (Brit
