Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Ask about china, quoted separately.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Little Atherfield
Is Little Atherfield too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What should we provide?
Very little: the space and a contact.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What if the service runs late?
That is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you do something else?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
