Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Sunset in Aston Rowant is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A word with the neighbours
- A spot well away from the house
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
