Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
We work to your event plan, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, Ellen's Green is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
