Weddings are a point of transition from the past to the future.  They’re gone in a moment, but remembered forever.  Jenkinsons make that moment even more special.

We all need a little help, support and advice at times and Jenkinsons can assist in almost every facet of the catering planning, menu development and service, helping create the perfect ambience for fine food at your wedding
Our chefs like nothing more than working with clients on developing new mouth-watering menus, whatever the style, from modern cuisine to traditional dishes, they can accommodate the widest possible range of tastes.

See the next menu (PTA) which was designed for a Bride at The Ashes, her parents are Sicillian & his parents are Welsh so this menu proved to be a complete success.


Other food options Jenkinsons have provided at The Ashes include afternoon high tea, simple buffets, hog roasts, barbecues, ‘host a roast’, Italian themed, specialist Indian (different regions can be catered for, please as k), kosher, vegetarian.
