Planning for dietary needs

- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give final numbers in good time
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

What else we do in Slindon Common
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
