Planning for dietary needs

Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:

  • Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
  • Share the menu with your venue coordinator
  • Give final numbers in good time
  • If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately

For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.

Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

A closer look at the menu

Crackling

Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Spit-roast lamb

Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way.

Should I cook it myself?

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Working with your venue

Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
