Planning help
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
