About our party hog roast in Rowly

Near Rowly, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
