Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
About our hog roast hire in Farnham Royal
In Farnham Royal, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. Whether it’s summer garden parties and birthdays and anniversaries, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and crackling.
In a small place like Farnham Royal, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Access for our equipment, without steps
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event in Farnham Royal. Light matters for a long roast: in Farnham Royal, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day
