Other Venues Embracing Flexibility
Across the UK, more venues are leaning into flexible catering because they recognise that modern couples want choice. These include:
Barns that allow street food vans or BBQ caterers
Hotels with open catering policies for cultural weddings
Manor houses that partner with a wider range of chefs
Outdoor venues that welcome food trucks, mobile bars and creative setups
From marquees to industrial warehouses, flexibility is becoming a new standard — and it’s something couples are prioritising more than ever.
How to Choose a Flexible-Catering Venue
If catering is a major part of your wedding vision, here’s what to ask when researching or visiting venues:
Do you allow outside caterers?
Is there a preferred list (and how flexible is it)?
Are there kitchen facilities caterers can use?
Are there restrictions on food vans or outdoor cooking?
Can I mix formats (e.g. seated meal + food truck)?
Do you have experience with cultural menus?
A genuinely flexible venue won’t hesitate, they’ll welcome the conversation.
