FOOD

The Oyster & Fish House

With decades of experience in events, Mark Hix and his team will create a bespoke menu of the best of seasonal ingredients for your special day. Mark and his Event Manager will meet with you at The Oyster & Fish House or Marine Theatre to discuss the requirements for your wedding and create a menu just for you with locally caught fish and seafood, or perhaps a surf and turf. You can always be assured that Mark’s menus will be created using the best of local produce available and of course vegetarian and vegan guests catered for.

Our wedding menus are served as a sharing-style feast with three sharing starters, followed by the main event with seasonal sides, and large desserts designed to share, adding an extra bit of theatre to your guests’ experience. Choose afew canapes or oysters to start your reception to enjoy with our local sparkling wines from Castlewood vineyard. It’s your day, and we will ensure it’s one to remember.

All our menus are built around the long established, personal relationships that Mark has with his suppliers and use only responsibly produced, carefully sourced and simply served British seasonal ingredients. Working directly with the local fishermen and farmers, the freshest fish and seafood is guaranteed from The Oyster & Fish House and Mark Hix.

Kit and Kee

Kit & Kee is based at Great Trill Farm, near Lyme Regis, where we source produce every morning from the organic market garden. We also rear our own pigs, lambs and chickens on our smallholding on the edge of the Marshwood Vale, and make our own Bottle Farm charcuterie.

Our ethos is all about using the very best ingredients at the peak of the season. We produce a lot ourselves and source the rest from local day boats, farmers and foragers who share our passion for great food. We use cooking techniques from all over the world, cooking over wood fires, smoking, curing and fermenting, but the best local ingredients are at the heart of the events we cater for.

Hugo would love to hear from you and to discuss your event at the Marine Theatre in more detail.
