Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives

- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.

Common questions in Fordwich
Is Fordwich close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast in Chequer's Wood and Old Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
What about family fun days?
Yes. Include visitors in your numbers and we’ll plan for everyone.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
