About the food
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
