Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Roast turkey can be added.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. In Hastingleigh, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Gather dietary requirements early
Getting a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
