Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.

Catered or do it yourself?

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
