Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some residents won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Serving on plates is often easier.
