Occasions we serve in Northiam
You are a host, not a cook.

- Engagement parties
- Summer parties in the garden
- Naming ceremonies
- Close and cul-de-sac parties

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
