Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Label alternatives clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
Why choose a hog roast in Shortlands?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved to order by a chef
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
The price comes down to:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel to Shortlands
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
