A hog roast compared with other options
If it’s for clients, add china, sides and a second roast for a more polished feel. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- All the equipment comes with us
- Served at the time you choose

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
