Aleisha and the team at Sprout catering did an absolutely sensational job catering our wedding, we are really grateful for their 10/10 service. In particular, they were very flexible and accommodating of our unusual menu requests and slightly complicated supply arrangements, as well as outdoor cooking setup - this was so appreciated in the stressful run up to the day itself and made them a genuine pleasure to work with. The meat dishes, the centerpiece of our menu, were cooked to perfection. And maybe most importantly of all, they were just friendly and good people. Could not have asked for anything more and would recommend without hesitation.

With a guest count of around 120 people, Sprout Catering tailored our day to ensure that all guests felt like they were well looked after. The food was high quality with generous servings - and was absolutely raved about by our guests. Our coordinator Aleisha and her team were knowledgeable, professional and made us feel calm all the way up to the wedding and on the day. They allowed us to feel completely in control.

Do we need to cater meals for our wedding suppliers?

Hi there. Wondering if we're supposed to cater meals for our wedding suppliers, and which suppliers are typically included? Need to factor into our budget.

Sprout Catering

Yes we suggest supplying a "crew meal" for your on-site vendors. 

Photographers, DJ or band members, photo booth operator. 

Which is better value - a bar tab or drinks package at our wedding?

We're inviting about 80 people to our wedding. Trying to decide between a bar tab and drinks package. When is it best to have each?

Sprout Catering

I would suggest a drinks package, this is cost effective as you pay an amount to cover drinks for a certain amount of time unlimited, a bar tab could become expensive as each drink is accounted for.

Are grazing tables a bad idea for summer?

Sprout Catering

I would think about where the grazing table is going to be placed. 

If it is outside  you would want to position in shaded area, though also keep in mind you usually have more flys in summer.  I would personally lean more to canapes service on hot summer day. 

If inside  it wouldnt be a bad idea at all !
