Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We’re on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

The process

Evening food at a Brightwell Baldwin wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
