Mmm, doughnuts!
Crosstown has recently opened the doors to its fourth permanent location outside of London, at 21 Queens Street, Bristol. Best known for creating the world’s first sourdough doughnuts, Crosstown has established itself as an award-winning premium sweet treat destination. Having recently sampled some of its delicious bakes here at CWM HQ, we can see how.
The even more exciting news, if that’s possible, is that Crosstown Bristol will be offering a wedding catering service. Options include such joys as a freestanding doughnut wall capable of holding 260 of the delicious bakes, a tabletop display holding 100 or its towers, available in three sizes of three, five and seven tiers holding between 12 and 80 doughnuts. You also have the option to customise your desserts with personalised packing and decoration, from edible ink toppers to gift boxes featuring your guests’ names or wedding motif.
That’s not all, as Crosstown can also offer a coffee cart, horse box trailer or gazebo for more festival-style catering vibes, again including more doughnuts than you can shake a stick at! It doesn’t end there, as Crosstown can also bring an ice cream scoop bar to your wedding. It holds up to 10 flavours and can cater for hundreds of guests. Select the bottomless ice cream and toppings option allowing your loved ones to revisit as many times as they please!
