For planners, venues and organisers

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
