Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Send the allergen list round before the party
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A short route for our equipment
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
