Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
