Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:

- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

A hog roast or other catering?
