What else we do in Cothill
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
