Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
