Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Perfect for your party in Church Crookham
It suits all ages, from grandparents to toddlers.
We are regularly asked to cater a wide mix of occasions near Church Crookham, such as:
- Retirement parties
- Summer parties in the garden
- Family reunions
- Close and cul-de-sac parties
A green space like Basingbourne Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Think about children’s portions
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
