Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
