Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you serve on plates?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you cater in village halls?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, given an outdoor cooking area.

Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We hold the food if people are delayed; just let us know.
