If you’re not sure when it comes to your big-day food and drinks, this A-Z guide will be a start! We caught up with Aga Ilska one of the founders of Reigate’s Lebnani Restaurant and Debbie Turney of Surrey’s Sea Change wine to talk all things Lebanese and local wine and editor, Sarah.
When it comes to food and drink, local and seasonal is a great option. Lebanese feast offers your guests a communal dining experience with vibrant flavours and the warm hospitality of Lebanese culture.
Be sure to think of everyone when planning your menu. From children-friendly fingers food to offering vegetarian and vegan options. Ask guests for their dietary requirements and review your guests list beforehand to make sure you have everyone covered.
Offer something special for non-drinkers with Lebanese lemonades in a range of flavours - apple, mint and ginger or pomegranate and orange blossom.
MEZZE a delicious alternative to a standard starter! Offering Mezze encourages guests to mingle and chat as they share and sample the dishes.
SHAWARMA - be it beef or chicken Shawarma would make a sure to please late-night snack for dancing guests.
EXTRA TREAT - finish your meal with a traditional amuse bouche like Turkish Delights, that works for vegan guests too!
Offer your guests a sweet treat. Backlawa is a sweet pastry often served as a dessert at Lebanese weddings.
For your evening food, a general rule of thumb is to provide 75% of your total guests, as not everyone will be in the mood for eating once they’ve hit tha dancefloor and will be happy to stick to the cake!
