Questions from Branbridges
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Branbridges?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Do you cover Branbridges?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Branbridges and Kent. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Where the roaster can go in Branbridges
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Power for lights in the evening
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Space well clear of tents and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Numbers
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
