- Plates, china and cutlery
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
A hog roast compared with other options
Some homes combine a hog roast with entertainment. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
The process
