Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:

- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Parking close to the house
- A word with the neighbours
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
