Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer wedding in Lower Twydall, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
