Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
