Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

FAQs for Hawkley
Is Hawkley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
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.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
