Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
