- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
