Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Share the allergen information with the team
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, then roast through the morning.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- Numbers
- Distance from us
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
