What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

What the cooking area needs

- Light by the serving table
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
