Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Halal is not offered
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
