Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Parking near the spot
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
FAQs for SE8

We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
