*Take one look at any future bride’s Pinterest and you are guaranteed to see a board littered with showstopping food trucks, beautiful mobile bars and glorious food stalls. Whether you’re holding festival themed nuptials, you’re keen to have a super chilled celebration or you’re looking for something a little unique for your big day catering, a food truck wedding is definitely the way to go.*

 
We’ve put our brains together over at Feast It HQ to provide you with 5 essential tips for your [food truck wedding](https://feast-it.com/event/wedding). From logistics to consider, how to work alongside your chosen supplier and the perfect menu for your big day, have a read below for the full food truck wedding lowdown!

![Food trucks 2](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/5ZEhPWeYRZLT33o6IjDU1c/11cec837330c72cdf717842cefee5736/Food_trucks_2.png)

### Make sure you nail the logistics 

First things first, can your food truck actually access your wedding? This might sound like a no-brainer but in amongst all the excitement of your wedding planning, it’s the technical bits that get lost in all the noise. 9 times out of 10 there is never an issue, but make sure to check with your venue to see whether they have height restrictions, adequate space and even the correct power points so your supplier can get things cooking. We don’t want your guests having their dinner served from a car park now do we! 

### Think about the size of your guest list

If you’re super popular and you have a guest list the length of your bridal train, you need to have an idea of what it takes to feed the masses. Your food truck supplier will, of course, help you to estimate how many servings you’ll need but it’s also important to have some insight into how many guests will be attending before you agree to any formal wedding food truck bookings. Don’t get us wrong, most of the food trucks on Feast It are used to huge crowds at mammoth festivals, but the team will still need to order in stock for your menu and would hate for you to pay for excess food or even worse - someone going hungry! It could be a good idea to estimate a slightly higher number than the actual number of guests you have, some people live for second helpings or you might have some surprise plus-1s on the day!

### Consider how the season can impact your food truck arrangements

Whilst searching for your dream wedding food truck, keep the season of your celebration in mind. What time of year it is could impact your wedding menu; for example, if you’re having a summer wedding, your chosen supplier could be more than happy to incorporate local, seasonal ingredients into your menu such as fresh fruits, zingy greens and ripe meats. If your wedding is falling in autumn or winter, these ‘low season’ dates can really play to your advantage as many food trucks can become much more affordable in these slower months - but don’t you fret, they’re just as delicious. 

### Plan your wedding food truck around your theme

On to the fun stuff now: with so many incredible food trucks in the UK, how on earth do you choose the perfect one for your wedding!? A great way to start the hunt is by considering your theme. Don’t be vague by starting your search with just ‘street food’ in mind, help yourself out by tying the food you want into your wider wedding day theme! If you’re throwing a [festival wedding](https://feast-it.com/magazine/festival-wedding-guide), for example, you may want to have a food truck that looks a little vintage to compliment your big day aesthetic rather than a boldly coloured VW van. Are you paying homage to your Asian heritage? Then take a look at the incredible selection of suppliers serving [Asian cuisine](https://feast-it.com/suppliers?tags[]=Asian&tier1=food) like [delicious sushi](https://feast-it.com/suppliers/mai-taiko)! Once you’ve found your perfect wedding food truck, speak to the food truck team - they will be more than happy to help you decorate their truck with fairy lights, a personalised sign, or other little adornments that will add to your theme. 

### Ask the food truck supplier how they are willing to personalise your menu

Our creative food truck traders spend their time travelling around the country cooking up a storm, and jump at the opportunity to make a wedding meal that is tweaked to your liking and a little bit different. Want wildly inventive gin and tonic tempura tacos? Consider it done with The Bearded Taco! Cocktails from Christabel’s Art Deco 1980s ambulance? It’s gin o’clock friends! Take your incredible wedding menu to the next level by working with your selected food truck team to personalise your menu. If you have two main dishes, why not name them after yourself and your lovely new life partner!? These small little details make all the difference to making your big day feel a little more special and our incredible selection of wedding food truck suppliers are more than happy to get a little creative with you!

5 top tips for the perfect food truck wedding

## Manchester street food is some of the best in the UK! 
This great city has also gifted the UK with some serious cultural wins and put us firmly on the global map. Think The Corrie cobbles, Oasis, Canal Street and football. 

With the likes of GRUB and Hatch showcasing some of the most innovative cooking talent in the UK and growing in popularity by the day, it’s no wonder that Manchester’s street food scene is on every foodie’s bucket list. Here are our top picks of where you can eat the best street food in Manchester:

## Tigellae

Let yourself be transported from Chorley to Cagliari with every mouthful of [Tigallae](https://feast-it.com/vendors/tigellae)’s delicious pasta. These guys want to bring you every aspect of the Italian food experience; whether that’s the 4 'o' clock aperitivo at the bar, the freshest pasta and meats, or the fluffiest tiramisù you could imagine. Bellissimo!

![Tigellae-10 (1)](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/24vx0h7ehQCtRILgBB731T/7250ef1018b81c4664a490c5a6eeace9/Tigellae-10__1_.jpg)

## The Hip Hop Chip Shop

The brilliant [Hip Hop Chip Shop](https://feast-it.com/vendors/the-hip-hop-chip-shop) food truck serves fish and chips from a seriously cool stainless steel boombox catering trailer equipped with a bangin’ sound system. They are a thing of Manchester street food fame and their efforts have not gone unnoticed; they were voted ‘Best Street Food’ in Manchester Food & Drink Festival in 2017. Don’t eat fish? No bother our kid - ‘Soyz N The Hood’ is a delish vegan option with battered soy and seaweed vegan fish steak! One of the coolest street food vendors around. 

![Feast-It-The-Hip-Hop-Chip-Shop-fish-and-chips-British-cuisine-event-catering-book-now-three](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/4koxNa39FBhyPqqPtdxr4B/2511c1639ae485aa7c5c6dd89c1a06c5/Feast-It-The-Hip-Hop-Chip-Shop-fish-and-chips-British-cuisine-event-catering-book-now-three.jpg)

## Oh My Glaze

The bird is the WORD for [Oh My Glaze](https://feast-it.com/vendors/oh-my-glaze) - Manchester’s very own chicken specialists. All of their glazes are homemade to ensure the flavour is top quality and pretty much addictive - trust us. Roll up your sleeves if you want to try their renowned chicken wings - you’ll have to get your hands dirty to enjoy them in all their glory but holy cluck is it worth it.

![IMG 6621](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/78clYF3U1UtaaVQY3phZeX/76575697b330b723a827aa6bb2969841/IMG_6621.jpg)

## Woodstock Pizza

After training in a traditional pizza parlour, Robin decided to bring wood-fired cooking to the Greater Manchester street food scene. He saw a wonderful world where everyone had access to proper pizza made in the original, world heritage protected, 500-year-old tradition and everyone would know what real pizza tasted like. [Woodstock Pizza](https://feast-it.com/vendors/woodstock-pizza) was born. Thank you, Robin- truly. Top Feast It recommendation - ‘Hey Pesto’: a gorgeous stonebaked pizza topped with basil, parmesan, pine nuts, walnuts, goats cheese and honey. 

![IMG 4491](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/2QC2YRS2wB7LCq78zToelz/c5396913f783a9f4fcbbb1341b02f506/IMG_4491.jpg)

## The Blue Caribou Canteen

It’s Manchester - chips and gravy has to feature somewhere in this list! The brilliant [Blue Caribou Canteen](https://feast-it.com/vendors/the-blue-caribou-canteen) are bringing authentic Montreal-style poutine to UK in a way that nobody else is! It comes as absolutely no surprise that they've already got some great accolades to their name. ‘Best Newcomer’ and ‘Best Food to Go’ in the Skinny Magazine’s annual food and drink survey as well as being nominated for a City Life award in the Best Casual Dining’ category. Chips and gravy just got chic.

![IMG 9575](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/1bWpbv1aIlvwJ2FNYQVTQe/5de392cba2ed4a0230ce4f6c0c904941/IMG_9575.jpg)

## Wallace and Sons

[Wallace and Sons](https://feast-it.com/vendors/wallace-and-sons) was founded by chef John Wallace who, after 12 years as a chef, decided it was time to bring Pan Asian dumplings and bao buns to the Manchester street food scene. You’ll be shaking John’s hand for his decision as soon as you’ve tried his Chicken Katsu Bao Bun - think panko chicken thigh, pickled shiitake mushrooms and wasabi mayo. Divine. 

![Feast-It-Wallace-and-Sons-Asian-street-food-stall-event-catering-Japanese-bao-buns-book-now-two](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/7zeGxosrEHNMK8zVfF3l5W/649a43a8eef2ad06f42cea4186c67d0d/Feast-It-Wallace-and-Sons-Asian-street-food-stall-event-catering-Japanese-bao-buns-book-now-two.jpg)

## Chaat Cart

[Chaat Cart](https://feast-it.com/vendors/chaat-cart) serve homestyle South Indian Street food using only the best seasonal British produce. Whether it’s food served from their charming trailer or full sit-down wedding service, you can guarantee you'll be getting the very highest quality.
It's no surprise at all that they were a finalist in the 2016 Manchester Food & Drink awards and their Manchester-based restaurant is a well-known to locals who rave about their food! Big claim, but theirs is the best Chicken Kati Roll in the UK hands down.

## Wholesome Junkies

Bored of the lack of vegan food on the Manchunian street food scene? Well fear not friend, how about a trip to [Wholesome Junkies](https://feast-it.com/vendors/wholesome-junkies) for a spot of vegan junk food. That’s right: Vegan. Junk. Food. They advise you ditch the falafel balls and quinoa ASAP and instead welcome their vegan Kentucky fried cauliflower burgers, wings, hot dogs and kebabs with open arms! You may have caught a glimpse of Wholesome Junkies on the BBC 2 programme 'Million Pound Menu' where they showcased their amazing plant-based menu.

## Grandad’s Sausages

[Grandad’s Sausages](https://feast-it.com/vendors/grandads-sausages) is a take on the American classic; the sausages are homemade by the team to their Grandad Bernard’s unbeatable 50-year-old recipes. Grandad’s won ‘Best Sausage’ in Manchester 2015 as well as being UK runner up for ‘Best Sausage’ in 2018, so they are clearly doing something right! For a true taste bud sensation you can’t miss ‘Grandma’s Spicy’ a squidgy hot dog topped with jalapenos, roquito peppers, crispy onions and sriracha mayonnaise. Ay carumba!

## What’s Your Beef?

Hailed as one of Manchester's best street food vendors, the [What’s Your Beef](https://feast-it.com/vendors/whats-your-beef) burgers are made fresh to order, from ethically and locally sourced grass fed beef, dry aged for 28 days and 100% traceable. And also ridiculous tasty. You have to try the ‘Fiery Bull’ burger which certainly packs a punch, it comes served with chorizo, manchego cheese and their homemade sweet and fiery chilli sauce.

![IMG 20171110 092817 956 (2)](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/2K3HUbaVHb3XHpunu2kQeO/0fedbccd9ccb86cacabbf56cfbf0cb11/IMG_20171110_092817_956__2_.jpg)

Here’s our top 10 best street food bites in Birmingham; heart of the Midlands, home of the Peaky Blinders, Julie Walters and ridiculously delicious grub.

Street Food Birmingham | 10 Of The Best Street Eats

### Happy National Vegetarian Week! In an ode to the veggie, we want to dispel the myth that the closest to flavour a vegetarian is going to get is a Linda McCartney sausage. 

 
In fact, it seems like the tide is already turning in favour of plant-based, meat-free food - and rightly so! With the help of activations such as Veganuary, Talking Retail recently stated that 36% of carnivores are buying more and more vegetarian and vegan products. The UK is waking up to the potential and power of the humble vegetable and the street food scene is happy to supply.
 
We have partnered with some incredible vegetarian and vegan street food suppliers all across the UK - take a look at 5 of the best below!


## The Taco Guy 


Veggie tacos can be just as mouth-watering as their meaty cousins, and just as dirty too!

## In their one year of working order, BEYRoots have catered for numerous parties and weddings, as well as putting smiles on the faces of Londoners in office buildings and markets across the capital. They’ve also spread the Lebanese love at food and music festivals, like the Brighton Food Festival and Lost Village. BEYRoots is owned and run by Tariq Al Khaldi, who brings Lebanese food to the people of Britain in his outstanding Citroen HY van, which is named Imad, after his late father. Tariq went from slogging away as an architectural engineer, to loving life with Lebanese wraps in just a matter of months. He’s a pretty inspirational foodie entrepreneur, so we just had to speak to him to find out more…

 
# “Our values are authenticity, taste and value for money.”

[BEYRoots](https://feast-it.com/vendors/beyroots) make delicious wraps and colourful salad bowls, inspired by authentic Lebanese cuisine. They serve wholesome food that is a fusion of celebration, heritage and family memories from Lebanon.

#### *“Being half Lebanese and half English we would spend our summers on holiday in Lebanon, spending most of our time in and around Beirut as well as taking several trips to Syria. My family was all centralised around Lebanon and I would always visit my cousins and my dad’s siblings (my dad was the youngest of 9). I loved every minute of it and really embraced Lebanese culture.”*

 

![Tariq wrap](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/48oZDJpbe80SGE0IYiC488/40772d2262c92b1c05d3f6d9d77e8202/Tariq_wrap.jpg)

 

Inspired by overwhelming love for his country, the recipes of his childhood and his beloved father, Tariq created [BEYRoots](https://feast-it.com/vendors/beyroots) in April 2017. 

#### *“My father passed away really suddenly from a heart attack in December 2015, he was only 60. It was really unexpected for us as he was fit and healthy. We both shared a passion for cars and classic vehicles and he would always talk about getting a Classic Citroen H van and driving around London selling falafel. In his opinion, no one in London did falafel the way it’s done in Lebanon and I was inclined to agree with him. When he passed away I knew it was now or never and I decided to quit my job and follow his dream with a bit of mine mixed in.”*

 

![yummy wrap](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/1eTKWWaSQUKEmAK2sgGwkW/9c5dcc0a7fb50c3ff96d1e9a7e7b2bc6/yummy_wrap.jpg)

 

He’d had enough of the corporate life and longed to forge his own path… 

#### *“I used to be an architectural engineer, working for engineering consultancies on all sorts of construction projects from Mandarin Oriental to Crossrail. It got to a point where I was starting to lose passion for what I was doing and I was spending more and more time in Lebanon and with my Lebanese friends because I really missed my dad.”*

 

![BEYRoots Wrap](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/6XGAi4sZNe04ucMWcEkeMw/c044ab16340bbb25d2d5c3863cff5763/BEYRoots_Wrap.jpg)

 

Tariq was nervous to take the plunge into creating his own street food business and there were a few unexpected bumps in the road… 

#### *“It was a worrying few first steps with a lot of hiccups on the way. I bought the van in April 2017 and on June 21st, a week before our first session, I was knocked off my motorbike and my leg was hit by an oncoming car, resulting in a compound fracture in my left tibia and fibula. Recovery was long, hard and painful, but I put my mind to it and managed to do a trial serving session on 31st August which went well. I then dove in with both feet, serving 3-5 times a week.”*

 

Lebanese culture plays a huge part in Tariq’s life…

#### *“I go back to Lebanon at least twice a year to visit friends and family. I also play rugby for the Lebanese National Rugby Team and have played for them for the last 4 years.”* 

 

![BEYRoots Truck](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/FduzJfQi8oGsA4EaUooE/0cc15915985e8fabac87bfef74c1e467/BEYRoots_Truck.jpg)

 

[BEYRoots](https://feast-it.com/vendors/beyroots) got its name from the airport code for Beirut Airport, mixed with the word ‘roots’. Tariq thought that seeing the name itself sounded like Beirut, customers would be quickly able to recognise what kind of food they served. The team is made up of Tariq’s close friend Matt, who he played rugby with at university. Tariq set up the business and the van himself, but after seeing its success, Matt is going to use his savings to invest in the next van!

![Tariq & Matt](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/33CDulUzYkGye8YAcCUMSY/288994f19c7bfda53b1f7feb7e186d88/Tariq___Matt.jpg)

 

We asked Tariq what the highlight of the [BEYRoots](https://feast-it.com/vendors/beyroots) experience had been so far… 

#### *“The returning customers who are loyal to our tastes and bring friends back with them to try our food has to be the highlight. We’ve been gradually getting busier and busier and the response to our food has been insane!”*

 

![BEYRoots Chicken Wrap](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/lXQo04uXTMmQauSgOe8Qg/98a73671828d7146f06c6bde86db74e6/BEYRoots_Chicken_Wrap.jpg)

 

[BEYRoots](https://feast-it.com/vendors/beyroots) can be booked for any kind of event and they’ll take on anything, big or small… 

#### *“We love smaller parties and lunchtime services, however, we’ve also been booked to serve at big food and music festivals so I think we’re pretty versatile.”*

 

![Tariq BEYRoots](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/4Wpmdrf6h2s8Q20U4oKiQk/6876cd09a84b1e9bb66576296a31c489/Tariq_BEYRoots.jpg)

 

The [BEYRoots](https://feast-it.com/vendors/beyroots) menu is all about freshness of produce and authenticity of flavour… 

#### *“Our menu consists of the food I want to be eating and in my opinion it’s the best parts of Lebanese street eats all in one place. For the carnivores, the Shish Taouk is your juicy chicken fix. For the health conscious, falafel and hummus salad bowls provide you with a tasty gourmet feed without the guilt. And finally, the cheese fans get their hit of the best cheese you can get… halloumi! All our wraps and bowls are served with fresh salad and garnishings true to Lebanese form - delicious and fresh.”* 

 

![BEYRoots Wrap 2](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/5CX0jFi7S0AWQIUi2GYQgi/b4cc60c453cd4d61ae7150fea05127eb/BEYRoots_Wrap_2.jpg)

 

So, what is it about Lebanese cooking that [BEYRoots](https://feast-it.com/vendors/beyroots) have hit right on the head? 

#### *“It’s about satisfaction. It’s not about fancy small gourmet cuisine. It’s rough around the edges, hard hitting flavours that leave you wanting more and more without the guilt that burgers or pies give you.”*

 

![Tariq](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/4jBMFoSX44MCuu2ioOEWe4/62b1cb7204990ecfdfbc83cbf1b71660/Tariq.jpg)

 

Tariq told us what it is about Lebanon and Lebanese culture that is so dear to his heart…

#### *“Everything boils down to providing people with an inviting experience. Lebanese culture is all about making people feel welcomed. Lebanon is a country that people don’t know a huge amount about. It’s beautiful there - you can ski in the morning, get a tan at the beach in the afternoon and then have one of the best nights out of your life! You’ll eat some of the best food you’ll ever have there. You’ll see the ruins of ancient civilisations in Baalbeck and walk around the oldest inhabited city in the world at Byblos. You can drive to the Bekaa Valley to taste some of the world’s best wines in Ksara and Kefraya. It’s not a warzone anymore and I’m ready to portray it in the way that it deserves to be portrayed.”* 

 
 

*Thank you so much to Tariq for speaking to us about his life, his culture and his wonderful street food business. You can [book BEYRoots](https://feast-it.com/ask-an-expert) on Feast It today for your [wedding](https://feast-it.com/event/wedding), [birthday party](https://feast-it.com/event/party-catering), [office lunch](https://feast-it.com/event/corporate-catering) and more!

The best authentic Lebanese street food in London

## Just because Rachel from Friends freaked out, it doesn’t mean you have to. Instead of succumbing to a sense of impending doom, throw a 30th birthday bash that is all about being young and free. From filling party bags with retro sweets, to decorating your venue with bed sheet forts, who said a 30th birthday had to be a grown up affair?


## 1. 90s Kid Party
 
Those turning 30 in the next 12 months were lucky enough to have spent most of their youth in the neon-clad 90s, probably dressed in a pair of outrageously patterned leggings. If you’re thinking of throwing a 90s themed party, you’ve been saved by the bell... Welcome your guests to the land of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Game Boy Colour with bunting made out of cassettes, inflatable chairs, rainbow slinkys hanging from the ceiling, and of course, glow sticks everywhere. Hire an arcade game like Space Invaders or Pac Man, and fill your party bags with slap bands, ferby keyrings and fruit winders.

Hungry partiers will love [Popdogs](https://feast-it.com/vendors/popdogs) and their old school van with its neon pink lettering. Their loaded hot dogs are totally mouthwatering with playful names, yet ingenious and sophisticated flavours. Expect high quality, all-natural juicy sausages sandwiched in soft buns, topped with a host of sauces, jams, onions, herbs and spices… Our favourite is the ‘Camel Toe’, a lamb sausage smothered with chili, garlic and harissa mayonnaise, and garnished with peppery rocket. 

![Popdogs](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/RpCPueH64C4GCYaWWiU42/b1e49cdcbeb9585ca12c6c988027a766/Popdogs.jpg)

## 2. Adult Sleepover Party
 
Instead of spending your 30th birthday being jostled on a sweaty dance floor, why not throw a grown up slumber party - a night of booze, food and games where your guests can knock back cookies with a White Russian and dance around in their pyjamas. How about decorating your venue with bed sheet forts, giant teddy bears, fairy lights and balloons? Far from a snoozy event, you can smash pinatas and play drinking games. Complete your party with a screening of a throwback movie on a projector - from Pulp Fiction to Toy Story, there’s plenty of choice for those in their late 20s. 

The ultimate food to serve at a sleepover are ice cream sandwiches, beautifully handcrafted by [Happy Endings](https://feast-it.com/vendors/happy-endings). The ice creams come in a range of mind-blowing flavours including blood orange Negroni and vanilla marshmallow, and can be tailor-made for your event. 

![Happy Endings 2](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/jW5ExJ6FP204AmwAuMQQK/9bd9dff7e192ba3e424a76a194b826f0/Happy_Endings_2.jpg)

Surprise your guests in the early hours with a visit from [Le Swine](https://feast-it.com/vendors/le-swine) - sublime bacon butties served from a retro 1960s ambulance, that’ll fuel everyone for a couple more hours of celebration. 

![Le Swine](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/26fGMFZ3IUEWY44AQUkscW/e417b2534407beef3953b104d1d46a1b/Le_Swine.jpg)

## 3. Camping Party
 
What better way for the outdoorsy type to celebrate their 30th birthday, than with a creative camping party? Whether you have hired a venue with outdoor space, or you’re hosting in your own garden, pray for sun and welcome your guests to your very own campsite. Decorate the space with ice buckets, blanket-covered logs, fairy lights strung from tree to tree, lanterns, and a roaring fire pit to enjoy under the stars. Entertain your guests with apple bobbing, water balloons and a scavenger hunt during the day and marshmallow toasting after dark. 

Pasta is the best way to keep campers happy, so why not get [Pasta e Basta](https://feast-it.com/vendors/pasta-e-basta) along to your party to warm and fill your guests with delicious fresh fare and rich intricate flavours, such as pork sausage and fennel, and aubergine with smoked cheese. 

![Pasta e Basta](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/FuXHnc4WgUwEIekikA8ac/78744af90c1477cd8cf541fb5fff4f7b/Pasta_e_Basta.jpg)

As revellers crawl bleary-eyed from their tents in the morning, inevitably hungover, have them greeted by [Original Fry Up Material](https://feast-it.com/vendors/original-fry-up-material), who’ll serve up breakfast muffins brimming with smoky bacon, Eggs Royale doused in runny yolk, and many more offerings from their quirky diner-style truck. 

![Original Fry Up](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/4HPHru1J6MwqOceCS8SUi0/747eddd612c861fd109d1737eeba5b00/Original_Fry_Up.jpg)

## 4. Alice in Wonderland
 
Whacky and whimsical, an Alice in Wonderland themed party is a tremendous way to combine a sense of debauchery and nostalgia. Your guests will think your party curiouser and curiouser as they pass giant playing cards, inflatable flamingos, and mischievous signposting, whilst drinking out of oversized tea cups. Why not hire a balloon modeller to make Mad Hatter headwear and challenge your guests to pin the smile on the Cheshire Cat, play a giant game of chess, or try their hand at croquet once they’ve had a few. 

Some wonderful accompaniments are the delicate and delicious crepes and galettes from [L’Amuse Bouche](https://feast-it.com/vendors/lamuse-bouche), who make both sweet and savoury options using ingredients of the highest quality. From dripping salted butter and oozing caramel, to sophisticated red onion chutney, goats cheese and spinach, there is something for every taste and they look lovely too! 

![L'Amuse Bouche](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/6Gq1HywhqwGC6y4cqg2K6Y/97e56e0860ada02bcb634dc0e2defc42/L_Amuse_Bouche.jpg)

## 5. Retro Games Garden Party 
 
Summer babies looking to celebrate outdoors with a little touch of class should look no further than a retro games garden party. Looking through a balloon archway reveals sofas on the grass, dainty bunting, blossoming flower arrangements, gingham table cloths, pastel lanterns and retro ribbons tied to the trees. Entertain your guests with sack races, pin the tail on the donkey, boules, and much more with various games stations dotted around. A personalised photo booth with summery props and little paper bags of pear drops and dolly mixture tied up with string are a charming addition. 

Juicy strawberries are the quintessential way to celebrate the British summer, so why not book [The Artisan Strawberry Van](https://feast-it.com/vendors/the-artisan-strawberry-van), an elegant and scrumptious choice for your party. Their spectacularly shiny van has pink neon lettering and opens to reveal shelf upon shelf of fabulously fresh strawberries, and doubles up as a champagne bar! Enjoy smoothies, alcoholic strawberry-based cocktails, and strawberries topped with a number of tasty toppings.

Kew Gardens

There are plenty of incredible spaces dotted across the capital to host your perfect party, but here are a list of Feast It's faves

London's best venues to host your next event

*When it comes to organising an event there can be so many moving parts that it be so easy to let something absolutely vital slip through net and find yourself scrabbling around to make sure that it all comes together at the last minute. 

*In the interest of making the planning process easier for everyone, __Feast It__ spoke to Abby, an event organiser at one of the UK's largest charities. She is involved in the organisation of around 20 large events per year so it's safe to say she's been through it all!
*

__*Hi Abby. So what are the very first steps that you take when going about starting to organise an event?*__


First of all, I work out the exact budget and try to identify areas where it could be possible to cut costs if necessary. Once that’s been established, firstly I’ll secure an awesome venue, secondly I’ll source the catering and then get cracking with selling tickets!

 
__*What are the three most important things to get absolutely spot on? (eg. catering, venue, entertainment etc)*__

First and foremost, it’s the venue because quite clearly without one there’s simply no event at all! Then it’s catering, the quality of which tends be a fairly direct representation of how much people will enjoy themselves, and I’ll also make sure that there won’t be any problems with accessibility at all, it’s one that people often tend to forget.

![Feast-It-Catering-Earls-Sandwiches](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/1UQGzrCFcgWkm2GAOa2YWW/2597f7c3188c07cc6f79499d0ad5a883/Earls_Serious_Sandwiching_11__5___2_.jpg)

 
__*In what area do you tend to encounter the most problems when you're organising an event?*__

I work at a charity and the emphasis is on trying to keep costs as low as possible, whilst simultaneously delivering an enjoyable and high quality event that guests will remember and hopefully continue to support in the future. Although not a problem per se it is the ongoing challenge across the sector!

 
*__Is there one thing in particular that people tend to forget?__*

People can just be so busy they generally forget to send over their dietary requirements, meaning you need contingency plans on the day and caterers who are able to offer a bit of flexibility. 

![The-Cheese-Truck-Feast-It-Event-Catering](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/1FmFWb8oEIqWseK0ie8SwG/a79b83e57a27c4a2610c37d3a5c86b8c/AU3A8439__1_.jpg)
 
*__Would street food be an appealing option for a charity event? __*

It would be a really nice touch. Guests absolutely love to try something fun and different and street food allows you to be more creative and add a bit more diversity to proceedings. The fact that you can cater cheaply for multiple dietary requirements is also hugely appealing.

 
*__Do you have any stories of when things have gone wrong? __*

I once got locked in a dressing room with an unhappy celebrity compère for 20 minutes whilst I was meant to be managing an event! Not the best start to an evening!

 
__*What food do you personally think tends to go down the best at events you've organised?*__

I always try and choose something a bit unusual as people generally get a bit tired of standard dishes, particularly vegetarian options (I'd never pick the risotto) Recently I've found duck to be a popular choice and people tend to be moving towards more niche options. And everyone loves a chocolate pudding!
