Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A spot well away from the house
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains

How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Dane Hill, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:30pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us a contact number for the day
