For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
China crockery is available for client events.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Open days in Capel Cross usually finish in daylight, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
