What else we do in Gaskins
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, then roast through the morning.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
