Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
We’ll sign in and follow site rules.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
