How our party hog roast works in Castle Hill

Near Castle Hill, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
