- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us

Evening food usually goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
