Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Shelter for the team
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
