What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.

- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We pack up whatever the weather.

- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Indoor space for eating

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
