Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
