What else we do in Charter Alley
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a staff lunch in Charter Alley, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.
