- Parking near the cooking area
- Light by the serving table
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Vegan option (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Salads
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Roast potatoes
- Roast turkey

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
