Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers

A hog roast or other catering?
