Full Description
Prickly Pear is based in the rich landscape of the Brecon Beacons National Park so therefore Jane has always sourced her produce personally and locally. Her food, and her ideas, are fresh and stylish and designed to fit perfectly with each couple’s day. Jane will sit down with you from the beginning to discuss styles, themes, menus and dreams – and you can leave the rest to her.
Whether your wedding is in a castle, a circus top or a cottage, whether you want canapés, sausage ‘n’ mash or a five-course bespoke feast, Prickly Pear will make it happen. Additionally, Jane offers a bar service alongside the food. Many of Jane’s friendly staff have worked with her from the very beginning – a recommendation in itself – and they rub along seamlessly to deliver something very special, every time.
We are proud to have won the Welsh Hospitality Award for the Welsh Caterer of the year 2016/17
Personal Message from the Manager
Name of Wedding Contact: Jane
I love reading about it, I love cooking it and I really love eating it! I feel privileged to be working in an industry where I spend my time making people happy by doing something I love. On your wedding day, I want to make it perfect for you. I have an ability to put people at ease throughout the process of planning the wedding day – this is partly because I am confident in what I do and partly because I want to give each couple the day of their dreams.

FAQ
(6)
What is your most memorable wedding?
A few years ago we catered for a wedding in a big Circus Top tent. The couple decided to hire the tent including the acts because it was spontaneous and cheaper, thus making it all the more fun! We worked around the circus acts during the day and it was so much fun!

The professional team that delivers the great service and delicious food.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Go to the food tasting, taste the food and explore your ideas for your special day.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
A wedding last year at The Sugar Loaf Barn, hosted a wedding for the family who own the barn. The bride had personal touches such as dates and a tractor sewn into her wedding dress and it was stunning. Additionally she designed the dress and we cooked a beautiful Persian sharing feast so that people were brought together on the tables.
