Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
