Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.
