Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Light matters for a long roast: around Upper Eddington, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.

A hog roast or other catering?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who does not eat it. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
