If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
