Planners, venues and businesses

If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
