For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.

The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer hog roast day in Portfield, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
