Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
How we price a hog roast for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
