Catering Dumfries & Galloway
Seasonal catering in the heart of Dumfries & Galloway
The Square Plate brings bespoke wedding and event catering to Dumfries & Galloway — from the coastal weddings of the Rhins to milestone celebrations in Newton Stewart, Stranraer and the market towns of the Nithsdale.
We travel from our Ayr kitchen with seasonal Scottish produce, experienced chefs, front-of-house staff and mobile bar setups. Every menu is built around what's growing, grazing and swimming in Scotland that month — and tailored to your venue, your guests and the kind of event you want to host.
