About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.

Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive

Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

A green space like Darland Banks is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s.

Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
