A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children generally like it too.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Parking close to the house
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
