Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Think about children’s portions
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Hound, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
How to get a price

Hound questions
Can you roast near the sea around Hound?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a hog roast in Westwood Woodland Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. A photo helps.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
