Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count families and staff too
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
We set up under cover in the grounds, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
