Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For an evening party in East Ashling, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Is a hog roast right for your party?
