Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
