Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

- 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
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list

We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event. In Gay Street, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Planning help
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Gay Street hosts choose us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- No surprises: everything in writing
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
