Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to doing it all yourself, you get to enjoy the party. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
