Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Add coleslaw.
