Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.

The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
What is hog roast hire?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
