Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A contact on site
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
