Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Party hog roast near Pollards Hill
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, once the road closure or permission is in place. We serve jacket potatoes, crackling and apple sauce, and we are frequently booked for engagement celebrations and big family get-togethers.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Pollards Hill
We’re gathering after a service at St Oswald: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you cook in Grangewood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will give you an honest answer.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Perfect for your party in Pollards Hill
Hardly any clearing up, because we bring plates and clear away.
