Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
