Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Balance the food line-up
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
