Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Questions from Bray Wick
How far is Bray Wick from London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at St Michael's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is there an alternative to pork?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. Halal is not available.
What do we need to organise?
Not much: the space and a contact.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
