Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Count who does not eat pork
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
Christmas hog roast in Forest Green, carved to order
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Whether it is late-night shopping events and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, we can cook halloumi skewers, apple sauce and crackling and more.
In winter near Forest Green, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A short route for our equipment
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Light by the serving table
