Working with your venue

Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a staff lunch in North Street, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some staff will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.

A hog roast or other catering?

Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
