Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- The location manager’s agreement
- Flat ground at the unit base
- A safe distance from kit
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- No surprises: everything in writing
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
