Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Questions from Risinghurst
Can you do a hog roast in Stansfeld Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary: 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.
What if things run late?
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.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.

Catered or do it yourself?

If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
