Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
