Michelin-recommended food in a field – extraordinary wedding catering, when tickled pigs fly

Home-grown and home-reared produce freshly prepared on site in a state-of-the-art portable kitchen; The Tickled Pig is now taking wedding catering to new heights with its seasonal menu, impeccable service and professional kitchen on wheels, aptly named the Flying Pig.

Overseen by Jez Barfoot, MasterChef quarter-finalist and co-owner of The Tickled Pig, the team brings the same principles and philosophy to event catering as experienced in the Dorset-based restaurant. Local ingredients shape the menu and provide the foundation for the exceptional quality and flavour that has become synonymous with The Tickled Pig’s brand. The betrothed couple can even get a taste of what’s to come before they book, by visiting the Michelin-recommended restaurant in Wimborne, Dorset.

The food is an event in itself, with formal menu options including potted Purbeck crab to start, twice cooked shoulder of lamb as a main course and an elegant Earl Grey panna cotta to finish the meal off in style. As specialists in creative outdoor cooking techniques, The Tickled Pig can even create a visual and edible feast for guests to enjoy, with options such as a rare breed hog roast, cooked over an oak fire for 12 hours, making even more memorable moments to mark the couple’s big day.

The Tickled Pig’s comprehensive wedding catering service starts at £35 per head for a three-course meal, while buffet options are also available from £5 per person. Further details and full menus can be found at www.tickledpigevents.co.uk.
