PapaKata Open Weekend 2019 Food & Drink Trends
Goose & Berry
Here at Goose & Berry, we’re so excited to be joining PapaKåta at their Autumn Open Weekend! With a showcase of delicious dishes from our seasonal, artisan menus, fabulous crockery and cutlery, seasoned with beautiful flowers. Our planners will be on hand and happy to discuss all foodie details with you for your Wedding in the wonderful PapaKåta Tipis and Sperry Tents…
As wedding and event caterers we start to recognise trends and patterns long before they start to become well known. Couples and caterers alike are opting for locally sourced food and produce, we want to know where our food is coming from, how many miles it’s travelled to reach us, and who’s grown it. People want to feel a connection to their food, do their bit for the environment and community and having either sustainable or foraged food on your Wedding day is absolutely the way to do it… plus there is no doubt that it tastes better this way!

Long gone are the days where dining used to be about three courses, eating and leaving… food and service is becoming a show itself and we are ready and waiting for the next act.
2020 continues to see the convenience, and not forgetting fun factor with guests being able to help themselves to their food. Whether it be with sharing plates on the tables, to a grazing station, everyone is loving the freedom to choose what they would like to eat. Who says you can’t have chocolate fudge brownies on the same plate as your Cambozola? Not us!

Think rustic yet refined, this is a style which more and more of our couples are opting for – a style which we love and we will be packing up in our van and bringing along with us to the PapaKata open weekend. High-end crockery and cutlery, stunning long-stemmed glassware, charger plates to impress and luxury linen. All topped off with rustic crates, seasonal flowers and foliage. Rustic yet refined without compromising on fabulous taste and style.
