Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
Add chicken as an alternative.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to booking a function room menu, a hog roast at a hall is often simpler. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
