Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from locations
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- One contact for the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken

- New potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count crew needing an alternative
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
