A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
