Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Staff thank-you lunches are another reason homes book us, served between shifts. Typical bookings include seasonal events and open afternoons, with thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Around Emerson Park, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we agree access and timings with the home first. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
