Is our catering right for your event?

Why us?
- A hog roast, a barbecue or both
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Timed around your day

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Our staff keep the serving table tidy through service, right through to the last plate.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
