Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Request gluten-free rolls
If the service runs late, we wait; just let us know.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Late-December sunset in Delly End is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A hall or room for eating
- Space away from the building and any trees
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Organising for someone else?
