Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed

- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives

How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your party in Ansty. In Ansty, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
