Discount Vouchers For Hen Nights

Not all of you will be using a company to arrange the hen weekend. So one of the best ways to get value for money is a voucher. You can get vouchers sent to you via post, printed off the Internet or simply voucher codes obtained via the Internet. Such sites as www.myvouchercodes.co.uk are a great way to saving money on the hen night.

Also sponsored adverts are another way of obtaining discounts. These discounts can be for restaurants such as Pizza Express, hotel rooms such Premier Inn, pub grub or even party accessories for the big weekend. You can even now get City Passes that will get you discounts in various establishments in a given city. Such cities that offer these are Liverpool, Manchester, London & Brighton.

So the sooner you start researching and tracking down vouchers the cheaper the hen weekend will be.

Winter Wedding Menu Ideas

Choosing a wedding menu can be a challenge you’ve got to pick something that is balanced and liked by all but helps your day be a lasting memory for the right reasons. Doing this in winter can be even more of a challenge the seasons are against you not only in food but also in temperature. Your guests are going to need some thing that is warm and hardy after those wedding pictures in sub zero temperatures (well this winter any way) But they are not going want to feel bloated after the meal either as this could spoil the rest of the night. The best way around it would be a light starter, heavier main and a light dessert to finish the wedding breakfast off.

Many wedding Venues are already going to have pre-arranged menus that the wedding planner can suggest to you. But you might want to suggest some menu ideas of your own. To start I would go for a winter seasonal soup such as Parsnip or Celeriac. You could go for the bog standard cream of veg but you always risk this being made up blended vegetable left overs. If soup isn’t your thing you could perhaps go for a smoked haddock or cheese soufflé.

The choice for main just screams roast meat and 3 veg to a lot of people when planning a wedding an easy options that most will like. But to me it just screams boring and no imagination and will not stick in any guests memory for very long. As at my wedding I would go for sausage and mash of a regional variety. Because that’s the great thing about sausage you can get the venue to source it from a local butcher or farm shop. The obvious regional varieties are Cumberland as served at Hundith Hill Cockermouth (and a dam fine Sausage it is to) or another that springs to mind in Lincolnshire. But you can also go slightly off piste and offer a trio of sausage flavours something I have seen done very well at The Fenns in Essex. You could also go even more off the sausage piste with varieties such as Duck & Crab.

If you are having a fish as a main course it may be worth considering dishes consisting of the more ethical fish such as Pollock as Cod and other main stream varieties continue to decline in stock levels. Served with a cream based butter sauce such as Lemon & Dill.

Moving onto dessert go for something lighter so stay away from things like Sticky Toffee and keep to things like Lemon Tarts. Myself I would choose a Vanilla Burnt Cambridge pudding. We could call this a Crème Brulee but why give it a French name when we invented it and you went to all that trouble of finding a local Sausage.
