A hog roast or other catering?

Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Planned to your running order

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
