Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
Hog roast hire in Tide Mills, carved to order
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s hog roast hire in Tide Mills. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. On the menu are crackling, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for weddings and receptions and clubhouse events.
In a small place like Tide Mills, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
