About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Indoor space for eating
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Padworth Common, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
