Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
About our corporate hog roast in Painter's Forstal
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. We’re frequently asked to cater team days and away days and family fun days, with rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
At country workplaces around Painter's Forstal, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to a staff barbecue, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
