About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- A named contact for the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Questions from Hook
Is Hook close to London?
About 40 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Hook?
Hook has its own station: Hook station.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What will our facilities team need?
Requirements vary: send us the checklist and we will reply.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Hook, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
