The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan crew can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Looking after everyone
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
We work to the location’s rules.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.

A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. By late September, sunset near Wootton is about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
