Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Send the allergen list round before the party
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.

For event organisers in Aston Upthorpe
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
