Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A heads-up for next door
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
