Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.

Prices and what affects them

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
When you contact us, please mention:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

Spit-roast lamb
