weddings and celebrations
'The wedding was wonderful and part of that - a great part - is down to you and your team. Thank you ever so much for everything you did and all the help. Everyone enjoyed the food - many of our guests told us, left messages in the guestbook, and told your staff on the day how fantastic it all was. We couldn't fault it. We're just sorry we can't think of another reason to hire you just yet!' ~ Claire & David (Lancaster)
We offer a full wedding and event service at sesame: our friendly and experienced staff will do everything to ensure that your day goes perfectly, including decorating the venue, serving a champagne reception, bringing round your wedding cake, and much more. We provide all crockery, glassware, cutlery, and white linenware. We have access to a superb range of organic wines, specially chosen to match sesame's menus. We can even run a pay bar at your wedding, stocked with organic and local beverages, available to your guests at reasonable prices. We pledge to take care of all recyclable materials used during the event.
choose from a range of innovative menus
For your celebration, choose from sesame's seasonal buffet menu, and the seasonal seated menu.
We offer a full vegetarian and vegan canapé menu.
If the fun will continue into the evening, we can provide a tempting array of evening snacks to sustain you and your guests; from homemade speciality burgers barbequed on site, to a locally sourced cheeseboard.

bespoke cakes
If you would like us to provide a cake for your wedding or celebration, our team are happy to prepare one to your exact requirements.
For vegetarian weddings, we are pleased to offer the contemporary option of a layered 'cheesecake'. As an alternative to the traditional fruit cake, why not treat yourself and your guests to some wonderful cheeses like Hartington Blue, Wensleydale with cranberries, Somerset brie, and Mature cheddar. Each 'cheesecake' is decorated with seasonal fruit and flowers, and is served with oatcakes and artisan chutnies.
sesame drinks service
sesame is able to meet any drinks requirements that you have. We can call upon a great range of organic wines for your meal, champagne for the toasts, and can provide exciting and contemporary drinks for a reception. Our main wine supplier is Vintage Roots, who have helped us to develop a select list of wines that complement our menus perfectly.
sesame is experienced in providing a pay bar for use either in the evening, or indeed throughout the day, depending on your individual requirements. Our bar includes a wide range of quality spirits and mixers, local and organic beers, and organic wines. (And the drinks are fairly priced, not set at rip-off 'wedding' levels!) The pay bar facility is available at no extra charge where sesame provides the wine for your event, or is otherwise available at a modest fee.
We can provide soft drinks, from fair trade fruit juices to homemade celebration drinks, such as:
Our hot drinks range includes fair trade teas and cafetiere coffees, served with organic cows milk or soya milk. We always bring a wide range of speciality teas and fruit teas.
