What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your residents will smell it long before they see it. Late May in Cooper's Green has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Getting a price

Planning help
For event organisers in Cooper's Green
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
