Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
