Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
A hog roast or other catering?
If it’s for clients, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
