Create a Wedding Menu That’s Truly Yours
Your wedding menu should be as unique as your love story. At Paxton & Brown we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all menus—instead, they work closely with you to design a menu just for you that reflects your tastes and style. James can (within reason) create nearly anything - he is exceptionally talented - our signature offerings are our canapes and main sharing boards (look at our instagram!) - we do these VERY well and have 5* reviews from all our customers.
Whether you’re dreaming of elegant canapés, vibrant grazing tables, or hearty sharing feasts, every dish is crafted with care using fresh, locally sourced ingredients (where possible) ensuring you and your guests remember it for years to come.

Where can you cater and what will you need?
We can cater pretty much anywhere - marquee, tipi, barn, dry hire venue - we will need a kitchen or catering space / tent where we can build a kitchen - don't worry we visit your venue and then talk you through what will be needed. We have loads of experience here so you are in safe hands
What can you create in a marquee kitchen?
Pretty much anything! As noted we will need a catering tent - we then arrange hire of equipment and build a kitchen, from there it is just like any other venue, very little is restricted.
Do you supply staff?
Yes - our service includes chefs and waiters experienced in everything we do meaning a seamless services from start to end
Are we restricted to set menus?
Nope! We don't do set menus - we create a menu around you and your story.... if there’s specific dishes and/or items you want, just let us know. We create unique menus for each couple.
How does it work?
First we chat then we meet you, we love getting to know you and getting excited about your day. Then we go through menu options, we listen to what you want and advise along the way keeping your wishes at the heart of it. We offer food tastings if you’d like as well..... We will keep in touch up until the day, we ask a lot of questions so that we have a full understanding of your day - this way we can be flexible to ensure a seamless service where we deliver the most amazing food for you and your guests
