What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.
