Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request thin slices
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people

About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
