Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours.

Meonstoke: your questions answered
Is Meonstoke too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Meonstoke from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do we need cover?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
When do you start roasting?
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.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is ready for everyone at once. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
