Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
