Lead by Head Chef, Wade Raithby, our team of talented chefs use only the freshest ingredients and pour oodles of love into each and every dish to serve the finest cuisine on your wedding day. Added to that, our event team will deliver a professional seamless service to your tables ensuring your guests are happy throughout.
Here, Wade shares with us all that goes into creating an extra special Swancar menu…
Wade: I’ve been a chef for more than 20 years and have been at Swancar for the last five. I absolutely love what I do and I’m always looking for new ideas and inspiration. I love experimenting and taking recipes from cookbooks and different places that I’ve visited and adding my own touches. When we create new dishes, it’s not just about the kitchen team, our wedding planners also get involved in tasting and feeding back on how they look.
Wade: When I first visited Swancar, I fell in love with the place. We’re lucky to have a close-knit team that’s passionate about what they do and that shows in the quality of our food. I thoroughly enjoy inspiring my team, teaching them new skills and developing new dishes.
I sometimes meet couples before their day to talk through menus and I really enjoy that personal touch. We also love getting feedback and reading the lovely comments from couples after their day – we’re all here to deliver the very best service so when we hear that we did just that, it makes it all worth it.
The food you serve to your guests is a huge part of the special occasion and it’s a privilege to be part of that.
Wade: The team, the produce, the passion, the service!Swancar Farm is a high-end venue, so we’re able to use the best ingredients and develop our menus each year in order offer a delicious variety for our couples – as Head Chef that’s really important to me. There’s something for everyone, from high-end signature dishes to everyday favourites. The passion that we all have definitely shines through in our food.
Wade: We work really closely with our event team on the day because the way we serve our food is just as important as the quality of food that we serve. Care and attention is poured into the service so dishes are presented to guests just as they were created in the kitchen. Our professional event team do this with a smile, ensuring that your day runs smoothly and that every need is attended to.
Wade: In all of our menus there’s a ‘Chef’s recommendation’ but here are some of my absolute favourites:
