For farms and rural sites near Gunville, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Common questions in Gunville
Could you cook in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What about family fun days?
We do. Include visitors in your numbers and we will plan for everyone.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can a company book?
Contact us with your details, and we will set out the terms with your quote.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Each site is different: pass on your list and we’ll respond.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Open days in Gunville typically finish in daylight, though in winter it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Contact us with the basics.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Think about shelter for your staff
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Staff days in Gunville: access and travel

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

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
