Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Common questions in Baughurst
Is Baughurst too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Baughurst?

Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

It is worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
