Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve on time, keeping the queue moving.

Corporate hog roast in Roughway, slow-roasted on site
A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. Typical bookings include retirements and long-service awards and client and customer events, serving crackling, salads and rotisserie chicken.
Rural businesses around Roughway can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Roughway, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Planning the cooking spot

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

Stuffing and apple sauce
