One event or the whole week?
Mehndi, nikkah and walima often need different menus and different guest counts. Tell us the full picture when you enquire and we can plan them together rather than as three separate jobs.

Wedding Catering in Luton & Bedfordshire
A wedding menu carries more weight than any other catering job. Guests remember the food, families compare it, and it has to arrive hot, on time and in the right quantity — often across more than one event in the same week. We build wedding menus around your guest numbers, your venue's rules and the dishes your family actually wants on the table.

Planning it properly
What to think about before you book
Honest guidance, written from what actually goes wrong at events like yours. Get these four right and the catering takes care of itself.
Your venue's rules come first
Many venues set conditions on external caterers — access times, kitchen use, whether hot food can be brought in, and what documentation they need from us in advance. Send us the venue name early so nothing is discovered late.
Guest numbers move — plan for it
Wedding numbers almost always shift between booking and the day. We would rather agree in advance how late a final headcount can change than have the conversation the week before.
Dietary requirements across a large guest list
Across 200 guests there will be allergies and dietary needs. Tell us at quote stage, not on the day, and we will plan the menu around them.

Common questions
What areas do you cover?
We cater across Luton, including Bury Park, and the surrounding towns — Dunstable, Houghton Regis, Bedford, Harpenden, St Albans and further into Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire depending on the date and the size of the event. If you are outside that, ask anyway and we will tell you honestly whether we can do it well.
How much does catering cost?
Our packages are quoted rather than fixed-price, because the cost depends on guest numbers, the dishes you choose, and whether you need delivery or collection. Send us your date, guest count and the package you are interested in and we will come back with a clear figure.
How many guests can you cater for?
Our packages are built around 50, 100 and 200 guests. For anything larger, or for an event with several sittings, ask us for a quote and we will tell you what we can commit to for your date.
Can I change what is in a package?
Yes. Every package can be customised, and you can also build a menu from scratch using the full menu. Tell us what you want on the table and we will price it.
