BEFORE YOU BOOK
Wedding Catering, your questions answered
How far in advance should we book?
As soon as you have a date and a venue. Saturdays between May and September go first, and a year ahead is not unusual. If your date is sooner than that, ask anyway: dates do come free.
Can you work at our venue?
Usually. A kitchen is preferred rather than essential, and access to water and power is helpful. What we do need is somewhere of roughly 3 by 5 metres to set up and serve from. Tell us the venue and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
What deposit do you take?
25% on booking, which holds the date, with the balance due 30 days before the wedding. Either can be paid by bank transfer or by card over the phone.
Can you do an evening buffet as well as the wedding breakfast?
Yes, and most couples do. The evening buffet is usually lighter (sandwiches, savouries and something hot) for guests who arrive after the meal.
Can you cater for our guests’ dietary requirements?
Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and halal. Give us the numbers for each when you book and those portions are prepared separately and clearly labelled. Give us the numbers with your final headcount and every plate is accounted for.
What are the options for the main meal?
A hot buffet served like a carvery, In The Middle where dishes are shared at each table, or a hog roast carved in front of guests. Each suits a different kind of day, and we will talk through which fits your room and your numbers.
When do you need final numbers?
Along with the balance, 30 days before. Small movements after that are usually fine. Tell us and we will do what we can.
Do you cater smaller weddings?
Yes, though the hot options need numbers: hot buffets, In The Middle and hog roasts all start at 50 guests or the equivalent booking value. Below that a cold buffet works well and has no minimum beyond the £20 order value.
