Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

FAQs for Whitton
Can you cater after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Crane Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Typically. Get in touch when the date is set and we’ll tell you quickly.
