- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Permission from the venue or landowner

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
