<p>Manuela Furhimann, your chef and co-owner of The Playhouse is a European trained chef with 20 years of experience in kitchens throughout the world.</p>



<p>Her passion for local flavours and produce mixed with a twist of European flair, adds an extra dimension to your event. Your guests will rave about the food.</p>



<p>The menus we listed below are really just guidelines and ideas, we aim to create the perfect menu for your big day. We can substitute, change or revise all of our menu options to your tastes, dietary requirements and style.</p>



<p>Each event we host is unique and individual&#8230;especially when it comes to the menu! We have designed a simple way for people to select the perfect menu , catering to all tastes and budgets.</p>



<p>Each course is divided in 3 price sets. Bronze, Silver and Gold. We encourage clients to mix and match from the above price ranges.</p>



<p>For example, some people may be very happy with Bronze nibbles but want to splash out on the<br>Gold main course. Others may have a sweet tooth wanting desserts, others may not want dessert at all.<br>Perhaps you are having an off site ceremony and are only coming for dinner, if this is the case you may not select<br>nibbles at all.</p>



<p>Any combination is possible and if you see an element you desire from a lesser value option you will be welcome to swap them with a high value item. Swapping or adding a higher value item to a lower cost menu is possible and reviewed on a case by case basis.</p>

<p>We have 3 different ways to dine when it comes to the main course.</p>



<p><strong>Buffet</strong></p>



<p>A smorgasbord style of goodies layed out for your guests to pick and choose what they desire. People are welcome to come up for seconds. Don&#8217;t worry about your wedding dress. Food is served straight the bridal table, so you dont have to line up at all.</p>



<p><strong>Family Style</strong></p>



<p>An excellent way for your guests to interact and share the joy of your special day. Basically we bring mini buffets to peoples tables and from there people pass around and share the food items. Guests are welcome to request more of their favorite elements, if a hungry Uncle takes a large share, we will replenish that item so that Aunty won&#8217;t miss out.<br>It’s the best of both worlds, providing an extensive variety of food straight to the table. No lines and very quick service to a large room of guests.</p>

<p>Classical dining at its best. Our amazing staff will take orders from your guests and food is delivered to your table.<br>We are able to provide simple menus, but many couples may create customised menus as part of the decorations.</p>
