Corporate hog roast in Ibthorpe
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to street-food vans, a hog roast feeds a lot of people quickly from one roast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
