Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Let us know roughly how many children
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and the food is ready for everyone at once. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening parties in Carter's Clay need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
