Planning help
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
