Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Balance the food line-up
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Halal isn’t offered
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
We work to your event plan, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
