About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
