Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Post allergen details at base
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.

The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In December, daylight in Yapton ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
