Weddings and intimate venues
From passed canapes and a relaxed cocktail hour to a private dinner for your wedding party, Debbie Robson creates food-led celebrations that feel personal from the first course to the last.
Menus are planned around your venue, your guests and the details that make the day yours, with calm, experienced service behind the scenes.
Intimate weddings give you the freedom to make the meal feel like part of the celebration, not a standard package. Debbie works with couples to shape the menu, timings and service around the venue and the people they have brought together.
Whether you are hosting a small wedding dinner, welcoming guests with passed canapes or planning food for a private venue, the aim is simple: generous, beautifully prepared food and a service that makes the day easier for everyone.
There is room for different kinds of wedding food within one considered plan. Debbie can help you decide what guests should eat on arrival, how the meal should flow and where the service needs to be most attentive.
Give guests something beautifully made as they arrive, with passed canapes that suit the atmosphere and leave everyone ready for dinner.
Bring your wedding party together around a multi-course dinner, cooked and served at the venue so you can enjoy the time with your guests.
Dietary requirements are part of the planning from the start, with the same care given to vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergy-aware dishes.
Planning a wedding from a distance or around a busy venue can feel like a lot. Debbie keeps the food side clear, personal and practical.

We shape the courses, canapes and service style around the occasion and the facilities available.
Debbie and her team prepare, cook and serve the food, leaving you free to be with your wedding party.
A recent review
Debbie and her team were an absolute dream to work with. We hired them for a private dinner for our small wedding party and for passed canapes for a slightly larger cocktail hours, and they exceeded every expectation we could have had. Planning a wedding in Scotland from Canada was naturally a bit stressful, we never had the opportunity to meet in person or even sample the food beforehand, but Debbie made the entire process completely effortless! Communication was excellent and she was incredibly accommodating to the various dietary restrictions we had.
The food was absolutely incredible, and our guests could not stop talking about it (even now, almost a year later!). Her staff were also wonderful, professional and attentive throughout both the cocktail hour and dinner service. We couldn't have dreamed of a better catering experience and would recommend Debbie and her team without any hesitation.
