Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

The process

- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
