Christening catering

Family-style platters that keep everyone around one table.

How we cook for it

A christening, or a botez with the cumătrie afterwards, is a day for the whole family: grandparents, godparents, children, friends. The food needs to be plentiful, easy to share and ready when everyone sits down. That is how we cook it.

What we cook. The Spit Roast Feast suits this occasion well: a whole pig on the protap as the traditional centrepiece, lamb ribs, skewers, mici and sausages, with starters, sides and sauces. For a bigger family, Spit Roast & Seafood adds seafood and prawns or fish.

How the day works. We agree the timing around your church service and the venue, arrive 4 to 7 hours before serving, and set up our cooking area. Before the day, we confirm final numbers. Everything is cooked on site and brought out hot, and we clear our area when the meal is over.

Why live fire. Fresh food from the grill and the spit makes the family table feel generous and welcoming. Guests of every age can find something they like, and the cooking itself gives people something to talk about. Tell us your date, place and number of guests, and we will suggest a menu.

Good to know

Can you serve straight after the church service?

Yes. Give us your service time and the venue, and we will plan setup and serving so food is ready when guests arrive.

Do you cook traditional Romanian dishes?

Protap and mici are our signature dishes, and we can discuss other traditional dishes for your table.

How early should we book a christening?

As soon as you have a date. Weekends fill up first. Send us your date and we will tell you if we are free.

Is there food for children and elderly guests?

Yes. We plan gentler and simpler dishes alongside the grill. Tell us what your family needs when you enquire.
