Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Count families and staff too
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following the home’s procedures.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules

Why choose a hog roast in Ebernoe?
