Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is ready for everyone at once. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
