Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
