Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
Give us a contact on site for the day.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we will fit in.
