Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Things that change the price:
- How many people are eating

Common questions in North End
Could you cook in Braeburn Park?

Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What if the service runs late?
That is fine: we hold the food until people arrive.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
