Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
