Comparing caterers
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether travel is included
- The space, cover and access they need
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
