Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

About our hog roast hire in Holyport
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. We’re frequently asked to cater birthdays and anniversaries and staff days and open days, with spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
In a hamlet or village like Holyport, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In Holyport, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
