Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?

Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Cooking is always outdoors; guests can eat inside.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
