Planning a December wedding means having your pick of delicious festive food to serve for your wedding reception meal. There are so many tasty dishes to eat at this time of year, and your caterer will be able to make suggestions. However, here are a few ideas to get you started:

Meat

If a hearty warming dish sounds perfect for your Yuletide wedding, a tender filet mignon is a delicious option for a main course, perfectly accompanied by mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables.

Poultry

For a Christmassy wedding, it would be fitting to suggest turkey with all the trimmings as a potential main course. You can’t go wrong with roast potatoes, pigs in blankets, cranberry sauce and a range of vegetables, including parsnips and carrots. Don’t forget the Yorkshire puddings too.

Vegan

There are many tasty vegan meals that would be ideal for a wintry wedding. Butternut squash wellington is an excellent choice, and as a winter season vegetable, a perfectly ripe squash is perfect for a healthy lifestyle.

Fish

Seabass and salmon are both fantastic options for a December wedding menu. Opt for hearty vegetable side dishes such as squash, butterbeans, beetroot, Brussels sprouts and green beans for a warm winter meal.

Delamere Manor is one of the top winter wedding venues in Cheshire, and we’re happy to recommend caterers and discuss your wedding plans with you. Give us a call today to book your 2021 date for your special day.
