What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Blackgang questions
Can you roast near the sea around Blackgang?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like Blackgang?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.

Why choose a hog roast in Blackgang?
Next to sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Within about 5 miles of the sea, sites can be windy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

After-work summer events in Blackgang have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
