Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By about 3:55pm in late December, Postcombe is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Name a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
