How our party hog roast works in Donkey Town
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. Popular choices include crackling, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for getting-engaged parties and wedding anniversaries.
A country party near Donkey Town is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about children’s portions
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
