Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
We set up quietly and start the roast early, out of the way of arriving guests.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
