At midsummer, sunset in Colden Common is about 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.

- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.

- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
