- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Show allergens at the stall
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.
If your event has a theme, tell us.

- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
