2024 weddings

We still have availability for weddings this season. Get in touch to discuss possibilities.

We have a wealth of experience that we will share with you to help make sure your special day run smoothly.

Lindsay and Annie of Lafafa catering are an absolute joy to deal with. From the first few emails it was clear that Lafafa would be perfect. They helped us choose a selection of dishes, and we came away from a delicious tasting session with absolute confidence that our wedding breakfast would be fantastic. Lindsay met us at the venue in advance of the reception to discuss logistics and she offered loads of helpful suggestions to make the day run smoothly and to maximise our budget. The meal that Lafafa prepared for us and our 80 guests was exceptional.

Some of 2022 wedding venues

Our last wedding of the summer was at Avelen, near Bodmin – it’s a fabulous new venue https://avalenweddings.co.uk/ We recently catered a wedding at one of our favourite venues, Enys House https://enysgardens.org.uk/ and another one at the amazing Polhawn Fort https://polhawnfort.com/

We’ve also catered at the incredible and for us very local Porth en alls https://prussiacove.co.uk/

We’ve also catered at a series of village halls – this year and in previous years- some of them are SO lovely- Ponsonooth, Downderry, Pendeen, Gulval.

We’ve also catered many weddings in private homes and holiday hideaways – 2022 has been a terrific season.

Roast Potatoes

Over the last 2 seasons we have been offering more roast potato options. Delicious as they are, roast potatoes take up a massive amount of oven space. This is why we cannot recommend them for weddings of more than 50 people. Even for 50 we need an additional commercial oven to accomodate them so we’d have to ask you to hire in an extra oven – just for the tatties!

If the roasties are an essential part of your wedding feast talk to us about them- they can be accomodated but not without careful planning.

A recent wedding

We’re getting back into the wedding vibe again – its so lovely to get such lovely feedback.

‘Thank you so so much for the amazing food on the day! We honestly had so many people say how delicious the food was and compliments to the chef. So again, thank you, it all added to make it such a special and incredible day for us.’

Lafafa Catering in 2022

Our 2022 season is underway so here’s an update on our activities so far:

We warmed up for the season with a supper club at Crugsillick Manor for Potluck Cornwall. With a continuous mezze and a meddley of puddings it was a great sucess.

Next came a lovely private party at Godolphin house – planned for lockdown years, the birthday celebration eventually happened in April this year.

This last weekend we did a faulous wedding in North Cornwall with 165 lunchtime servings and a whooping 300 for the evening meal. After a few hiccups with the oven, all went well and we hope we managed to produce a memorable meal – there were lots of positive feedback from guests and wedding couple alike.

Embracing the wedding spirit

We are trying not to get too excited but as the year progresses we are discussing future wedding plans with couples, feeling hopeful that we will be able to take them to fruition. Its great to read some of the feedback from past weddings to remind us of the buzz of working with couples to help create the day of their dreams.

Thank you so much for the incredible food you created for our wedding – guests were blown away, as were we.

The overall service was incredible —we can’t believe what you pulled off in that space’.
