Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Watt's Cross
Is Watt's Cross too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What will our facilities team need?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you come to Watt's Cross?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Watt's Cross and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with individual food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
