Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Add coleslaw.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
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.

- A level pitch
- Space for people to queue
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
Gipsy Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Coleslaw
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling

- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
