Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

What else we do in Birtley Green
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a staff lunch in Birtley Green, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
