Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
