Looking after everyone
Some staff won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen information with the team
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Access through the site gates
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. After-work summer events in Heronden have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:45pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
