Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.

A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
