Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- 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.

What else we do in Holbury
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
