What we cater at a Leicester wedding
Chiefly the reception and the evening. Canapés at £9.80 a head for three or £14.30 for five carry the gap between the ceremony and the meal, which at a Leicester city venue is often longer than couples plan for because of the photographs.
The evening buffet from £5.50 a head is the one that matters most and gets planned least. It is the last food anybody has, and the room by then is a mix of daytime guests who ate at two and evening guests who have come from work.
The dietary conversation, properly
More Leicester weddings than not need halal, and a good many need it alongside vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free at meaningful numbers rather than one or two.
We prepare halal-sourced portions separately and label them, and we do it every week. So that you can decide properly: this is not a certified halal kitchen and pork is on our menu, so if your family needs certification we will tell you that plainly rather than let you find out later.
WHERE WE DELIVER
Leicester and around it
We deliver across Leicester City Centre, Oadby, Wigston, Birstall, Glenfield, Syston, Braunstone and Knighton, everywhere between them, and a good way beyond. If you are not sure whether we reach you, ring the office and ask. The answer is usually yes.

Why Leicester chooses us
Every diet properly catered
Halal-sourced portions prepared separately and labelled, alongside vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free.
The same price as any other booking
A buffet for a hundred costs the same at a wedding as at a works do. That is not true everywhere and it is worth checking who else quotes you.
Priced on your evening numbers
The evening list is a different one from the day list and confirms much later, so an evening buffet from £5.50 a head is costed on who is actually there.
Canapés, hog roast or buffet
Canapés at £9.80 a head for the reception, a hog roast carved on site from £795, or an evening buffet of sandwiches, savouries and cake.

It was a brilliant idea to hire Sadlergates Catering Leicester for my daughter 20th birthday celebration. The food was excellent. Lovely, friendly and professional staff. Would definitely use them again.

We have catered Leicester since 2012. If you have a date in mind, the earlier we know it the more likely it is still free.
Wedding catering in Leicester, your questions answered
Can you cater a halal wedding in Leicester?
We prepare halal-sourced portions separately and label them, and we do it every week. So that you can decide properly: this is not a certified halal kitchen and pork is on our menu. If your family needs certification, that is worth knowing before you book.
How much is wedding catering in Leicester?
Evening buffets from £5.50 a head, canapés £9.80 for three or £14.30 for five, and hog roasts from £795 for up to fifty guests. The price does not change because it is a wedding. It is the same published figure as any other event.
Do you cater the wedding breakfast?
Buffet-style yes, plated with service no. Many Leicester venues hold the daytime meal anyway; where they do, ask whether they release the evening, because that is frequently permitted and is where the saving sits.
When are final numbers due?
Seven days before. Move them as often as you like until then. The evening list at a Leicester wedding is often the largest and the latest to settle.
Which areas of Leicestershire do you cover?
The city and out through Oadby, Wigston, Birstall, Glenfield, Syston and Knighton, with no travel charge. Further into the county is usually workable. Send the postcode.
Can you do a hog roast at a Leicester venue?
From £795 for up to fifty guests, outdoors as standard, needing about three metres by five of flat ground with no steps to the serving area. Check with the venue first that an open flame is permitted, because several city sites do not allow one.
