Love-all as Murray prepares to serve feast

-

WIMBLEDON champion Andy Murray wisely left the vast majority of his wedding planning to his fiancée — apart from the food.

The tennis star, who marries Kim Sears in his home town of Dunblane, Scotland, next Saturday, admitted that he “couldn’t care less” about much of the finer detail.

But he put his foot down about the menu, insisting on being involved when it came to choosing the various courses their guests will feast.

“In a lot of cases it’s just better to let the woman have it how she would like,” he said in a US interview.

“In terms of flowers and colour schemes and those sorts of things, I couldn’t really care less about that. The one thing that I really wanted to do was be involved with the food. Because I like my food — I like good food. I went along and did the foodtastin­g, and I also did the caketastin­g as well.

“So that would be the thing I have been most involved in. The music is something we chat about together as well.”

The ceremony will take place at Dunblane Cathedral, followed by a reception at Cromlix House, the 15-bedroom hotel Murray bought for £1.8-million in 2013.

The restaurant at the five-star hotel is overseen by French chef Albert Roux.

Murray did not disclose if he had made a final decision on the menu — but could be forgiven for embracing the task.

Last year, he described how his training regime was built around healthy but restricted eating, with Sears cooking him one of three specially designed meals each evening.

His three favourite dishes were revealed to be salmon with rice; roast chicken with vegetables and potatoes, and steak with salad.

The tennis player is generally teetotal, and is reported to follow a gluten-free, high-protein diet to maintain his weight and keep himself in peak condition. —© The Daily Telegraph, London GAME, SET, MATCH: Andy Murray and fiancée Kim Sears
