Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about children’s portions
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
How our party hog roast works in The Hale

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
