On the DL : e01

Introducing On the DL, our new series where team Dinner Ladies share everything we know, love and can't stop talking about.

As a team we share a love of all things food, culture and hospo and we've been wanting to do this for a while! With each edition, you can expect anything from foodie itineraries to industry insights and the trends we're obsessing over. Consider this your insider POV curated by Dinner Ladies.

And as we approach wedding season, where better to start than the wedding trends we're loving right now and the ones we think will define this summer's gatherings for our first edition -

Fruits and vegetables which step into florals...think tomatoes, grapes, figs woven through the centre piece. Sustainably minded styling you can eat, blurring the line between decoration and experience.

Long, abundant tables replacing formal service, designed to be both feast and centre piece. Relaxed, immersive dining that brings guests directly into the experience.

Desserts that move beyond the plate into something theatrical and shareable. Think tableside moments, oversized creations, and a little drama to finish. From Eton mess towers to tiramisu trolleys and delicate bite-sized treats.

Delicate garnishes, considered presentation and story telling through the drinks menu. Not forgetting, elevated low and no options and unexpected flavour pairings.
