Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
