Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information with the team
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to street-food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard

- Crackling
- Salads

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
