FAQs for Spring Vale
Do you come out to small places like Spring Vale?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast near the sea around Spring Vale?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.

Cooking is always outdoors; serving can be indoors.
How early should we book for Christmas?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, it is dark in Spring Vale by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a Christmas fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We set up while it’s still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.

We serve and tidy, whatever the weather.
Here’s what people in Spring Vale most frequently book a hog roast for:

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
