Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
About our hog roast hire in Dartmouth Park
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for gatherings after a funeral and village fêtes and school fairs.
Around Dartmouth Park, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. If there is no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and send us a photo. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat

How much will it be?

Do you need power or water?

When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
A hog roast or other catering?
