Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
A second meat gives the team a choice.

The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. After-work summer events in Lower Dicker have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
