A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
One contact for the day helps, so the family can focus on guests.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with family members cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
