Looking after everyone

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:

  • Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
  • Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
  • Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
  • Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests

The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we are there for. You can get on with your event.

Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.

Full catering or machine hire?

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

A closer look at the menu

Spit-roast lamb

Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.

Rotisserie chicken

For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Why us?

  • Fresh carving at the serving station
  • Our staff serve and clear
  • Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
  • A clear quote with everything listed

  • A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
  • Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
  • A way to wheel the roaster to the spot

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
