When you’re planning your wedding, there’s so much to think about; the dress, the flowers, the venue, the music, the photographer…
But one thing that should never be an afterthought is the food.
Your wedding breakfast is one of the biggest moments of the day. It’s when everyone comes together, relaxes, raises a glass and celebrates with you. And it’s something your guests will remember long after the day is over.
That’s why at Old Thorns, we believe your food should be just as carefully considered as everything else.
Our menus are designed around the seasons, giving you the opportunity to choose dishes that suit the time of year you’re getting married and the style of celebration you have in mind.
And your wedding breakfast doesn’t have to mean a traditional three-course meal.
