Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
China crockery is available on request.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Brading questions
Is Brading too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast near the sea around Brading?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
