Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a restaurant booking, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Serving and clearing done for you
- A choice of salads and potatoes

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
