Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, it’s light in Guestling until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Guestling
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cater after a service at St Laurence's Church?
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. Send us the address.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do we need cover?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Do you come to Guestling?
Yes, Guestling is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
