Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
We work to the location’s rules.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
