What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- 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.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Winter weddings in Becontree Heath are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
