Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We’ll sign in and follow site rules.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A named contact for the day
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
