Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- Space away from the building and any trees

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
