Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
