For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
