Going to a wedding this year?

Spare a thought for the caterers - expected to put on ever-more elaborate feasts in ever-more challenging conditions.

In this episode, three wedding caterers - in India, the US and the UK - share anecdotes about demanding guests, make-shift hillside kitchens and emergency trips to hospital.

Warning: if you’re a bride- or groom-to-be, this programme might just give you a case of the jitters.
