Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Put the menu on the invitation
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

What else we do in Selsfield Common
Step by step
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. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Selsfield Common, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
