New casual dining at grand Hampshire wedding venue

One of Hampshire's leading wedding venues The Elvetham is following in the footsteps of royal newlyweds Harry and Meghan.

The modern royals opted for casual bowl food at their wedding reception and now the venue has expanded its big-day menu in line with the growing demand for more relaxed crowd-pleasing options.

“We've had lots of couples asking for something a little different in terms of food for their reception and so we're adding a little more theatre to our evening dining options,” says Charlotte Page-Smith, the hotel's senior wedding specialist. “The new tasty food choices include a traditional paella, which is crafted in front of the guests, as well as wood-fired pizzas cooked in the gardens.”
