About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.
How we price a hog roast for your team
Your quote depends on:
- Travel to Heath End
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- The number of people
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.
