Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- A contact on site
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In Ford, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.
