Looking after everyone

We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:

  • Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
  • Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
  • Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
  • Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food

On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.

Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

Should I cook it myself?

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

What happens on the day

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. For an evening party in Wickstreet, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.

  3. We arrive in good time and start roasting.
