Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from Abingworth
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.

Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Do you serve the food?
