Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Add dietary questions to the invite
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Stanford Dingley, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
