Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Think about children’s portions
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Add a dietary question to the invite
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Planned to your running order
- No surprises: everything in writing

Lions Green: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Lions Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We will talk you through it when we quote.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
What affects the price in Lions Green
Your quote depends on:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- Travel to Lions Green
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

How it works
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. In Lions Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
