Sharing Feasts – delicious, modern & relaxed dining

Sharing feasts are a great way to wow your guests at a wedding! People eat with their eyes first, so imagine what might happen when a fantabulous feast is laid before them to choose from!

They offer a more relaxed way of dining and can help to break the ice at the dinner table. Feasts like this give a real sense of community and family and we feel they can make your wedding day feel more intimate and homely.

In the last few years there’s been a marked rise in wedding couples who want to serve lighter, cleaner, fresher food on their wedding day and sharing feasts offer a great opportunity to do this, as well as keeping some traditional items in.

We feel sharing feasts are a great way to go if you are struggling to pick a main course for your guests. Why have one plate of food when you can choose a selection of meats and sides. The possibilities are endless when it comes to this menu but what we recommend to keep it seasonal to get the most out of your local produce! We have some fantastic suppliers in Yorkshire and there is nothing quite like a ‘Sand Hutton Asparagus’ salad with flaked almonds to accompany our pulled Yorkshire Lamb in Spring.

You can incorporate this style of food into your decor and use it as your table centrepieces. We have a full range of serving platters from clean cut white china, colourful persian inspired plates to rustic wooden boards. If you are a massive foodie and are looking to have food as your focal point then we definitely recommend sharing!

If you go down the sharing route you can also mix up your courses – it doesn’t all have to be sharing. For example you could have a plated starter, sharing main and plated dessert (for those that do not like to share their dessert!). Or why not have a sharing starter and main with an all out styled dessert table. At Baba we work with you to create a menu that you love and we design how this will be served too to ensure there is a certain theatrical element in what you eat.

Taste is everything when it comes to sharing feasts. We do a huge range of different styles that include Gourmet BBQ, slow cooked meats that melt in your mouth, Mediterranean style platters and Yorkshire sharing roasts. Take a look at our menus below that are best suited for sharing.
