Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A spot well away from the house
- A word with the neighbours
- A wet-weather plan for guests

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
