DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Signpost the stall clearly
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Chicken widens the choice.
