Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We will sign in and follow site rules.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.

For event organisers in Lenham Heath
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
FAQs for Lenham Heath
Which station is closest to Lenham Heath?
The closest is Lenham station, roughly 2 miles away.
Is Lenham Heath too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Can you feed staff and families?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Open days in Lenham Heath typically finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
