Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.

About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Because the roast starts early, and in December Tottenham Hale is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
