Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Christmas hog roast in Potters Corner, slow-roasted on site
From office parties to village Christmas fairs, we cater festive events around Potters Corner, from small teams to big crowds. Whether it’s winter open days and end-of-year team celebrations, we can cook apple sauce, roast turkey and crackling and more.
In a small place like Potters Corner, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
