Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.

Dorney Reach questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Dorney Reach?
The closest is Taplow station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and the food is ready for everyone at once. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
