Food That Brings
People Together

At Salomons Estate, every dish is prepared by our dedicated in-house kitchen team. No external caterers, no compromise on quality. From canapés on the terrace to a three-course wedding breakfast in the ballroom, your menu is crafted around your tastes, your story, and your guests.

Our chefs work with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, creating menus that are as individual as the couples we host. Whether you dream of a classic three-course dinner or something more informal, we build your menu from scratch. See our wedding packages for the full picture.

The In-House Difference

Unlike many venues that rely on external caterers, our kitchen team is part of the Salomons family. They know our spaces, our timings, and exactly how to make your wedding day flow seamlessly from first canapé to last dance.
