Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Think about children’s portions
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
