What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
