Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
What affects the price in Rotherfield Peppard
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A spot well away from the house
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Do you clear up?
