Q. Is there an option of bringing in our own caterers?

Unfortunately not. We have one of the best catering teams in the country at Redhouse Barn, who are able to supply award winning cuisine from foods around the world to traditional English cuisine at the very highest levels. You have the flexibility to design your own menus with chef Anthony Morgan; to offer a choice of menus to your guests and to personalise your guests' menus to the extent that they will be asked how they want their prime cuts of lamb or beef cooked on the day. All catering and staff are arranged directly with Morgans. www.morgans-catering.co.uk

Q. Can we supply our own wine?

Yes, you may bring your own wine for reception drinks and wedding breakfast where a corkage charge will apply. You will still be invited to a complimentary wine tasting to sample our extensive wines and champagnes which are competitively priced. Additionally, all wine for the wedding breakfast is sale or return, so you only pay for what you use.

Q. Can we have a mixture of drinks for our reception and wedding breakfast?

Yes, we don't have any drinks packages either so you have the flexibility to offer your guests wines and or beer or any other tipple you fancy. We can also provide jugs of soft drinks or punches for guests who are not drinking.

Q. Can we have cocktails?

Yes, cocktails are a popular addition for your wedding guests after the wedding reception, please discuss with Morgans.

Q. Can we have a guest ale?

Yes, Morgans have access to a really good selection of real ales, which can be supplied in 36 pint pins or 72 pint kegs currently at £3.40 per pint. We don't like wasting beer so please ensure your guests drink the barrel dry! (or you will be charged for any unused beer if we do not have a wedding the following day). The bar also stocks bottled Bathams; Mad Goose; UBU; Purity Gold and Veltins. For lovers of Guinness we have surger Guinness and lagers on draught along-side an extensive collection of beers, ciders, shots and spirits.

Q. How many canapes do you suggest?

Generally a choice of 6 canapes works really well (2 meat, 2 fish and 2 vegetarian covers all bases). We recommend a minimum of 4 canapes per person, however this can be altered depending on wedding timings and budget.

Q. Can you cater for guests who are vegetarian or have food allergies?

Yes, during the menu designing process with Anthony you will also design a delicious vegetarian or vegan option for your guests. It is important that you ask your guests in advance about any dietary requirements so the caterers can accommodate these.

Q. Do you have food options available for children?

Yes, here at Redhouse Barn we class children as between 2-10 years (there is no charge for under 2 years). We can either provide as smaller portion of the main wedding breakfast for a reduced price or we can also provide their own menu which will again be created during your meeting with the caterers. If you have a large number of children we can also arrange for them to have their own tea party in the Redbrick Barn complete with a wedding Creche service if required. (www.ciccionas.com)

Q. Should we provide our contractors with a meal?

Please check with your contractors terms and conditions to see if you need to provide them with food and drink, it's not unusual for us to provide your contractors such as photographers/ musicians with a hot meal, which is eaten in the Lounge Bar for a reduced price as they will be with you all day. Bands will normally eat from the evening food options.

Q. What options are there for evening food?

There is an extensive selection of evening food available from circulated 'street style' bowl food and hot savoury snacks at £13.50pp; pizzas, fish and chips at £11.00pp to barbecues from £17.00pp. 'Cheese cakes' which can be cut up for a cheese and pate table are also a great idea and start at £13.50pp.  We hate queuing, so circulated snacks are a great choice!! These options are developed and designed with you, incorporating any themes or ideas you may have. Similarly if you want to have half circulated bowl food and a smaller cheese table we can definitely come up with something special.

Q. Can we try the food before our wedding day?

Yes, we hold food tastings at the Barns normally at times to suit in the spring, autumn and winter seasons arranged though Morgans Catering. These carry a small charge for a minimum of four guests and are a lovely opportunity to try all three courses of your chosen Wedding Breakfast, giving you freedom to try the different ideas you may have had and make any changes. The food tasting gives you loads of confidence in the quality of the food you will have on your wedding day.
