🌸 Event Spotlight: A Beautiful Summer Wedding at Cothelstone Manor
As the last golden days of summer drew to a close, The Fig Pantry had the immense pleasure of catering a truly spectacular wedding celebration for 120 guests at the magnificent Cothelstone Manor in Somerset. Set amidst the rolling hills, the manor provided an idyllic backdrop for a grand yet intimate celebration.
Our clients wanted a bespoke menu that celebrated the best of the season, served seamlessly within the stunning temporary structure built for the occasion.
A Bespoke Feast in the Marquee
The entire reception was hosted within a beautifully constructed marquee on the expansive manor grounds. This allowed for maximum flexibility in design and dining. The team at Buffalo Events, based nearby, did an outstanding job in constructing the elegant structure, ensuring a perfect space for a large gathering of 120 people.
As the chosen wedding catering specialists, our goal was to deliver a refined and memorable fine dining experience for every single guest.
The Menu Highlights: Celebrating Local Somerset Produce
As with all our events, our menu was built on locally and sustainably sourced ingredients. We created a spectacular three-course meal, featuring seasonal West Country delights:
Canapés: Guests enjoyed a selection of delicate canapés during the drinks reception, setting the tone for the quality of the evening's food.
Main Course: A magnificent dish celebrating high-quality Somerset meat, perfectly cooked and served with vibrant, seasonal vegetables from local market gardens.
Dessert: A luxurious pudding, beautifully plated, offering a sweet finish to the summer season.
Working with Somerset’s Finest Suppliers
A spectacular wedding takes a village, and we love working alongside other fantastic local businesses to bring a couple's vision to life.
The tables were impeccably dressed, thanks to the elegant furniture and linens supplied by Tables and More Bridgwater. Their attention to detail ensured the marquee interior felt sophisticated and welcoming for 120 guests.
Adding a breathtaking touch of natural beauty were the stunning floral arrangements supplied by The Rambling Rose Bristol. Their exquisite designs infused the entire space with colour and fragrance, perfectly complementing the manor’s grand atmosphere.
