About our party hog roast in Wainscott
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most hosts prefer us to do it, so they can enjoy the party. We’re often asked to cater wedding anniversaries and christenings and naming days, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes.
Parties around Wainscott are frequently relaxed garden affairs. A hog roast fits right in. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
