Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Label alternatives clearly
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
China crockery is available on request.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Common questions in Heath End
How far is Heath End from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-December sunset in Heath End comes at about 3:55pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
