Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- A lit route to the food
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Salads
- Crackling
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Roast turkey
