Behind the Scenes: A 200-Guest Wedding

When a couple trusts us to feed 200 of their closest friends and family, every detail matters. Here's a glimpse into what a typical large wedding day looks like at Roots.

4:00 AM — Prep Begins

Our kitchen team arrives before dawn. Jollof rice goes on first — it needs the most time to develop that deep, smoky flavour.

8:00 AM — Marination Station

Chicken wings, legs, and thighs are marinated in our signature spice blend. Suya skewers are threaded and seasoned.

12:00 PM — Cold Prep

Salads are assembled fresh. Sweet potato salads, dressed and ready. Akara batter is prepared for frying on-site.

3:00 PM — Loading Up

Everything is packed into insulated containers. We transport hot food hot and cold food cold — no compromises.

5:00 PM — Service Begins

Our team sets up at the venue. Hot dishes are finished and plated. The buffet opens.

The Numbers

• 200 guests served
• 7 dishes on the menu
• 12 hours from start to finish
• 5 team members on site

Every event is different, but the dedication is always the same. That's the Roots way.
