Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access close by
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Who books Christmas hog roast in Springhead?
It is a change from turkey and all the trimmings in a restaurant.
