- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.

Catered or do it yourself?

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
