A hog roast compared with other options

- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Serving and clearing done for you
- An itemised quote
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Why choose corporate hog roast in Michelmersh?
Service is fast, ideal for a set break.
