Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
How our party hog roast works in Sandleford
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll check it with you. On the menu are jacket potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for reunions and retirement parties.
In a small place like Sandleford, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Sandleford
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A step-free way into the garden
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
