Alderholt: your questions answered
Can you cater for vegetarians?

Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you set up in our car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

How our corporate hog roast works in Alderholt
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. On the menu are halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for team-building days and site open days.
Teams near Alderholt often go for a lunch in the yard or grounds. Let us know about the site. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Someone to meet us at reception

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re 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 everyone in the loop.

The process

For a staff lunch in Alderholt, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
