Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Sunset in Hampstead Norreys is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
