Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels like a feast. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Englefield hosts choose us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Fresh carving at the serving station

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
