Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We set up while it is still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Roast turkey can be added.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Timed around your day
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
