Can you work around our timings?

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

Do you clear up?

Do you need power or water?

Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
