The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
