- We check the route and send a price.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Post allergen details at base
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
We work to the location’s rules.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Ashford
Do you come out to small places like Ashford?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
