Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, then roast through the morning.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.
