Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Think about children’s portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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.
