What comes off the roaster

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We work to your event plan, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
