If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
