"Finding Heather and the team at the Rustic Roast Kitchen was one of the luckiest things to happen to us while planning our wedding! The logistics of getting married in a tipi, in a field were daunting to say the least but Heather made the day run like a dream.
The consultations beforehand were invaluable, and despite us being nightmare customers, changing our minds on a daily basis, she was always willing to help and talk through the many different options.
The food itself was fantastic, we have been receiving compliments from loads of our guests and we couldn’t be happier – we just wish we could eat it all again! The service on the day was also fantastic and all our guests were well fed, well watered and content.
Thank you so much to Heather & the team for helping to make our day absolutely perfect. Same time next year? Faye & Ben"

"We were looking for a caterer for our wedding for a long time until Rustic Roast Kitchen was recommended to us. We wanted afternoon tea to be served at our reception and were looking for a reasonable price. Heather visited us with amazing food for a tasting. After this, we had to book!
Heather has been so helpful over the year leading up to our wedding. She would always reply to my (many) questions before the day and had so many good ideas that I hadn't thought of.
On the day of our wedding (15th August 2015), the food and drinks were served and presented beautifully and I have had so many guests say how much they enjoyed the afternoon tea. It was absolutely delicious! Lots of people also said how attentive and friendly the waitresses were.
I can't recommend Rustic Roast Kitchen highly enough. Heather did so many extra little things before and during our wedding day that made it even more special and go so smoothly. I think that I would have been quite lost without her!"

WHAT THEY THOUGHT...
From start to finish, Heather and Rustic Roast Kitchen made our wedding unique, easy to plan and fun. From our initial consultation we were blown away by the advice and support from Heather and the team, struggling to choose from all the delicious food options and menus. At every stage of the planning Heather offered advice and help and we couldn't have asked for a better company to help us achieve our vision, a summer outside English garden wedding, laid back and fun.
Having recently returned from honeymoon and meeting up with our guests we hear at every meet up, " oh the food", " it was amazing", " we were so full", " they kept coming around with more". A normal three course roast just wouldn't have had the same effect. Locally sourced, a local company, a great price and a great service.
We never plan to do it again.... But if we did.. It'd be Heather and Rustic Roast Kitchen all over again ;) Thank you for making our day go so smooth and being so accommodating.... We can't recommend you highly enough!

"I can't thank Rustic Roast Kitchen enough or begin to describe how excellent the quality of the food and service really was. From the moment Heather responded to my initial email enquiry I knew that the stress of finding a caterer for our wedding was over. The day would not have been the same had we not hired them.
Heather was so professional and friendly throughout the whole build up to the wedding and would always reply to my super long emails almost instantly no matter what time of the day I emailed her!
The food was simply amazing from the canapés to the fish and chips and chocolate brownies. Our guests still talk about how much they loved the food months after the wedding.
Thank you Heather and all of your staff for making our wedding truly memorable. You and your staff worked tirelessly - nothing was too much trouble.
If you are looking for someone to take away the stresses of catering for your wedding and want truly beautiful food then you have to use Rustic Roast Kitchen!
Thank you so much!"

what they thought...
We had so many guests saying how fantastic it was to have something completely different to the wedding food they're used to, and it 100% fit the festival theme of our day, as both the food and the service was laid-back and informal but still totally professional. There was so much food (which we needed after the adrenaline-rush of getting married!) and it was so tasty!
We didn't have to worry about timings at all, as your team just managed everything perfectly, leaving us to enjoy our day. We also really appreciated the extra touches your team put in to finishing some little bits of our set up on the morning of the wedding, which saved us lots of stress, and also cutting up our wedding cake so we could carry on dancing!
We genuinely couldn't have been happier having you handle the catering for our big day, and it was so lovely to work with you during the planning, so a great big thank you from us both.
Thanks again for all your help
Rhianna and Mike xx
