For event organisers in Stockcross
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated lunch, it is less formal and normally costs less. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Looking after everyone
Some staff will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we’ll fit in.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
