Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Show allergens at the stall
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Can you work around our timings?

Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
