Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
