Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A summer party in Gill's Green stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
