Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

Requirements vary. Let us know what you need.

A hog roast or other catering?

- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Show allergens at the stall
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
Give us a contact on the day.
Add coleslaw.
