Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
