About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

What else we do in Castle Town
Should I cook it myself?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Why choose a hog roast in Castle Town?
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Planned to your running order
