Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to a barbecue, you’re not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is ready for everyone at once. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Poling: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Poling from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
