Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
China crockery is available on request.
Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Woodrow
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Woodrow?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you have documents for locations?
Every production is different.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you need much space at base?
At base, on level ground. We’ll agree it with your location manager.
What about locations off the beaten track?
We can, given access details. Let us know about the route.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We work to your schedule.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
