Allergies and dietary needs

- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.

How it works

- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
