With china and sides, it works well for clients.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Request gluten-free rolls
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
