Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
