About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.

Can you do a hog roast in Kinecroft?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we will plan around them.

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.

A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What about family fun days?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How does payment work for businesses?
Contact us with your details, and we’ll set out the terms with your quote.
Looking after everyone
Some staff will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

What else we do in Mackney
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Access through the site gates
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
