What you get with us
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like

Sausages
Grilled until golden and cooked right through, they’re the easy crowd-pleaser.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
