Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book our hog roast in Runfold
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Fresh carving at the serving station

How the day 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, worked back from your serving time. By late September, sunset in Runfold is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
