Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Sleaford
Which station is closest to Sleaford?
The closest is Bentley (Hampshire) station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We work to your schedule.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Post allergen details at base
- Label the alternatives clearly
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
