We cannot wait to welcome you to this stunning Cwtchfest location, if you are yet to get your tickets we still have tickets available right here
So with no further ado lets talk about food!!!
A wedding at St Fagans will be a unique and memorable experience and the menu for your special occasion should resonate in the same way. Gone are the days of rigid set price menus and three course wedding breakfasts. Venues have had to adapt to the changing catering desires of brides and grooms as they move away from traditional menus to more creative and alternative dishes. At St Fagans the our team of professional in – house catering experts specialists, Elior UK , work to create a menu perfect for the tastes of any couple, incorporating the finest, locally sourced ingredients that deliver both breath-taking taste combinations and exquisite presentation
The menu for your Big Day can be entirely adaptable and bespoke menus can be created to include your favourite ingredients and meaningful dishes for this most special of days. A recent wedding at St Fagans served Spanish style tapas meal rather than a wedding breakfast, including antipasti, king prawns in garlic butter, paella and Spanish omelette accompanied by flavoured breads and focaccia. This relaxed and interactive serving style helped build the atmosphere of the day
Afternoon tea has also become a more popular choice for couples. With our stock of mix and match cake stands and crockery at St Fagans we can offer an authentic vintage tea party instead of a 3-course meal.

A more unusual request from a bride came recently – a mashed potato bar. This emerging craze, which originated in America, involves sweet or traditional mashed potato being served in martini glasses with a range of toppings available to sprinkle over the top. These included bacon, cheese, sour cream, spring onions and gravy to name a few.
New trends are emerging all the time and the Elior catering team at St Fagans are happy to work with couples to cost out any request that they may have.
