Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We will sign in and follow site rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
China crockery is available for client events.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Questions from Ditton
Is Ditton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Ditton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
Can a company book?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we will confirm how booking and payment work.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.

- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
