Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Count families and staff too
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
