• Evening Food: Keep your guests energised with stone-baked pizzas, loaded fries, fish and chip cones, or a traditional hog roast.
• Tastings Included: Bookings for 60+ daytime guests include a complimentary winter tasting for two, allowing you to sample and tweak your menu perfectly before the day.

FAQs
We specialise in modern, seasonal, and relaxed British food built around fresh, local Norfolk produce. For your wedding breakfast, this can be served as a formal plated meal, family-style sharing platters, or a long-table feast, followed by relaxed evening options like stone-baked pizzas, fully loaded fries, or a hog roast rolls.
For weddings, we provide a complimentary tasting for two once your date is officially booked. This applies to bookings of 60 guests or more that include a two-course or three-course wedding breakfast, with sessions usually held during the winter months before your event.
If you can't find what you like on our sample menu we can of course produce a bespoke menu to meet your requirements.
For weddings, you should book 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for peak summer Saturdays.
Yes, we can. We are fully self-sufficient and highly experienced in marquee weddings, bringing in all our own mobile kitchen equipment to cater your day seamlessly. Please note that while we provide the service, there is an additional cost for the hire of the specific kitchen and catering equipment required for a marquee setup.
Our Sustainability Commitments
At Rudd Catering, we love our beautiful East Anglian countryside and believe that premium wedding catering shouldn’t cost the earth. As an independent, family-run business, we take a personal and mindful approach to sustainability, integrating eco-friendly practices across our kitchen, mobile bars, and venue styling. 1. Zero-Waste Kitchen Innovations Food waste is a major concern at large events, and we work hard to keep ours to an absolute minimum. Our team focuses on precise portion planning, but when surplus ingredients do occur, we get creative! We actively preserve leftover produce by dehydrating, creating homemade jams and artisanal chutneys, or infusing spirits to craft unique elements for our wedding cocktails. 2. Championing Local & Seasonal Produce The foundation of our modern British menus is fresh, local Norfolk produce. By prioritizing local farms, butchers, and growers across the East of England, we dramatically reduce food miles and carbon emissions. Designing bespoke, seasonal menus means your food tastes incredible while naturally aligning with the UK's natural harvest cycles. 3. Reusable In-House Venue Styling Because Tracy manages our venue styling alongside our catering, we can guarantee a low-impact approach to decor. We focus on high-quality, rented, and reusable styling pieces—such as beautiful fabric linens, professional tableware, and durable decorative centerpieces. This entirely eliminates the single-use plastics and disposable decor that often end up in landfills after a wedding. 4. Energy-Efficient Mobile Setup Operating as dry-hire and marquee specialists means we are experts in off-grid setups. We use modern, energy-efficient mobile kitchen and refrigeration equipment designed to maximize power efficiency on-site, ensuring a flawless dinner service while remaining respectful of your venue's natural environment.
