FAQs for St Michaels
Is St Michaels too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Turners Field?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you cover St Michaels?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.

Whether it’s twenty people or a whole site, the roast is sized to fit. Give us numbers and timings and we’ll quote. For site openings and site open days, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers for your staff.
At country workplaces around St Michaels, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How we price a hog roast for your team

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to St Michaels
- Whether you want china
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
