Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Parking close to the house
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
