Parties around Britwell are often relaxed garden affairs. A hog roast fits right in. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a barbecue, you’re not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is ready for everyone at once. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
