Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How our hog roast hire works in Denton
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, new potatoes and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater garden parties and barbecues and christmas parties.
In a small place like Denton, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Evenings in Denton stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
