Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give your coordinator the final menu
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
