Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from Wash Water
Can you cater after a service at St Luke Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Wash Water?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
