Wedding Menu
Below is our selection of thoughtfully crafted items that we offer. If you have anything specific not listed below, we are more than happy to create something delicious based on your wishes.
​
For formal events or bigger occasions (up to 120 people), Spoonful offers a popular ‘family-style’ banquet, or a more traditional ‘buffet’. Buffet and family style eating suits corporate lunches & dinners, family weddings or house private dining.
Family style is perfect for bringing the ‘dinner party feel’ to your table. All the food is prepared then served to each table on beautiful platters. Guests help themselves to whatever they like from the comfort of their seats. This is fun, social and brings people together.
Select up to 3 of your favourite main dishes, then pick your sides.
We can recommend a selection based on your preferences or size of event.
​
Minimum 15 people for dinner parties.
A printable version is available here.
