Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Lower Twydall, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.

FAQs for Lower Twydall
Is Lower Twydall too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Riverside Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you need a car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
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.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china

What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
