Nick and Anna’s Thai Feast

This summer we worked with one of our wedding couples, Anna & Nick, to create their very own Thai-inspired menu! The day was a mash up of Thai, Chinese, Polish and Scottish traditions. With Nick being from a Thai/Polish background and his mother owning Thai restaurants, it was very important to them that the menu was spot on and brought out some traditional Thai flavours. Here was the delicious menu that we served up on the day at Myres Castle –

Starter sharing boards:

(Yam Neua) Warm beef salad

Prawn/Vegetable Skewers with peanut sauce

Chicken wings in honey, soy & chilli

Choice Main Course:

Thai fish grilled in banana leaf

OR

Fishermans-style chicken

 Served with sharing sides of:

Asian Veggies in oyster sauce

Rice

Thai prawn crackers 

Dessert:

Profiteroles with a pandan custard, passionfruit curd & mango sorbet

The meal was a big hit with the guests, with Anna commenting on our Instagram post from the day:

“It was everything we dreamed, drooled for and more – thank you so much for going beyond the brief and bringing our Thai feast to life! The feedback was incredible ❤️👌🏻🇹🇭🥢”

A snapshot of some of the other traditions on the day – First up, a Chinese Tea ceremony before guests were seated for dinner. This Chinese tradition involved the Bride and Groom serving tea to their elders to show their respect. Secondly, as Nick’s dad is from Poland, instead of the western tradition of toasting speeches with a glass of fizz – Nick decided that he wanted to toast his speech with a shot of Polish Cherry Vodka from a mini copper cup. Last but by no means least, with Nick & Anna both studying at The University of St Andrews they decided to name their tables after places in the famous Scottish town – “Starfields”, “Jannettas” and “Castle Sands” were just a few!

The evening then got into full swing and just like the Wedding Breakfast the evening food went down a treat – who doesn’t love pizza!! Myres Castle have a wood fired oven, which is always a favourite by couples looking to do something a little bit different from the traditional bacon rolls, pies, etc.

All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed working with Nick, Anna and their families to create this unique menu and cannot wait to see what more interesting menu’s we will be creating this wedding season!
