Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Party hog roast near Shenley Church End
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. For naming ceremonies and neighbourhood parties, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage for your guests.
Around Shenley Church End, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A hog roast fits right in. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A summer party in Shenley Church End stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
