Amalie Loves... THE OYSTER BOYS

Now oysters are definitely a bit like marmite, you either love ‘em or you hate ‘em. Personally they’re one of my favourite treats; especially with some ice-cold champagne if celebrating something special (or at anytime really as I just get cravings for them!).

Imagine my delight though when I came across The Oyster Boys at a recent event. Tucked away I spied the champagne first which obviously grabbed my attention; upon sidling up to the bar I noticed a huge tray of oysters - double whammy! Upon calming my excitement I figured what an imaginative, fun and quirky service the oyster boys would deliver at weddings and wanted to let you all know about them.

For couples who are thinking about having canapés before their wedding breakfast why not try something a little different and have a couple of very handsome and charming Scottish guys (avec kilts!) open and serve your guests fresh, juicy, delicious oysters? They will mingle and entertain your guests giving them both something yummy to eat and talk about. They can provide a range of dressings including lemon, tabasco, shallots in red wine vinegar or my favourite mini bottles of bubbles! It can be as formal or informal as you like with wicker baskets for a more rustic look to a three metre long ice bar which would create some serious ‘wow’ factor.

They don’t just stop at oysters either; Robin Dunlop, one of the Directors of Temple & Shian (the company behind the successful oyster boy’s concept) explained they can provide a full seafood bar giving guests a much larger choice and they’ve also just launched a fabulous new canapé range.

Hmmm... sorry have to go and find some now!
