What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal is not offered
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who does not eat pork
Give us one contact in production, usually locations or the production office.
Sides make a proper lunch.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Spitalfields ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
