What happens on the day

- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.

- We serve quickly within your break.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Getting ready for the day

Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
