Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Hog roast hire in Pittswood, slow-roasted on site
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We’re often asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and summer garden parties, with salads, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
In a hamlet or village like Pittswood, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late September evenings in Pittswood lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
