Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Serving and clearing done for you
- We bring everything to cook and serve
