Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Space inside for guests
- Permission from the hall or venue
- Parking close by for our vehicle
As a London location, Slade Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
