The Headfort Arms was once upon a time, the town house of Marquis of Headfort and now an award winning wedding venue where many happy couples celebrate their big day.
Steeped in a long lineage of history, the Duff Family having be catering for weddings in this landmark venue for almost 40 years, so it’s safe to say they are knowledgeable in all things wedding related!
Personally, I have a slight obsession with anything that is a callback to a bygone era. So, when I discovered that the Headfort Arms have decided to celebrate their menu of 40 years ago by reintroducing some of their classic choices, I was intrigued (I probably should have mentioned that I am equally obsessed with food).
Olivia, owner at Headfort Arms, was kind enough to share with us a menu from the 1970’s priced in her mother’s handwriting no less! The classic menu included Egg Mayonnaise (it’s not a proper vintage menu with it!), Oxtail Soup and Peach Melba to name a few.
Headfort Arms are currently putting a new package together which will incorporate all of this with a romantic twist. Olivia says she feels like “it tells the story of the Headfort, mentioning to us that ‘we do so many second generation weddings, so it will be great to do the same menu that their parents had… But obviously exceeding all expectations!”
The modern twist menu will include options such as Peach Melba with Oven Baked Caramelised Peaches with Homemade Praline Icecream and New Season Farm Hot Raspberry Compote.
Yum! Is it lunchtime yet? Something tells us we will need to follow this up with a review…
