- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- A picture of the cooking area

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
