Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.

The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Hardwick, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
