Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Chicken widens the choice.

How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready.

- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.

- Give us a contact number for the day
