Why choose a hog roast in East Guldeford?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.

About the food
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.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
