Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Do you bring plates?

What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.

It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
