Wedding questions

Good to know before you enquire

Is your wedding food halal?

Yes. Moghul Express is HMC (Halal Monitoring Committee) certified, and wedding orders are cooked in the same kitchen with the same halal meat as our restaurant food. You can check our certification on HMC's own listing for Moghul Express, Wood Hill.

How much does wedding food cost?

The price depends on the dishes, the number of guests and the date, so we quote each wedding individually. Send your date and rough guest numbers and we will come back with a menu and a price.

How far ahead should we order?

Get in touch as soon as you have a date. Lamb roasts are cooked to advance order, and an early enquiry gives us time to plan the menu and quantities with you.

Do you provide the venue, staff or equipment?

Our wedding catering is a food order: we cook, and your food is ready for the time we agree. If you also need serving staff or equipment, ask when you enquire and we will tell you what we can do.

Can we taste the food first?

Yes. The same dishes are cooked as daily specials in the restaurant, so the simplest way is to eat in or order a portion on the day that dish is cooked. The days are listed in the Taste it first section above.

Can you cook for vegetarian guests or guests with allergies?

We cook vegetarian dishes including daal, chana masala and paneer. Some dishes may contain or have come into contact with nuts or other allergens, so tell us about any allergies in your enquiry. Our allergen information is available to check.

Planning something other than a wedding?

We also take food orders for offices, parties and family occasions.
