Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees

The process

In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
