Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We pack up whatever the weather.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
For event organisers in Somerton
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
