A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. For a staff lunch in Balscote, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:30pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
