Party hog roast for Crowmarsh Gifford
Catered or do it yourself?

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 level patio, lawn or driveway
- A word with the neighbours
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs

- Let us know roughly how many children
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invite
