Slow-roasted pork in Tunstall
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
Give us a contact on site for the day.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For event organisers in Tunstall
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 it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Tunstall
Can you do a hog roast in Cromers Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Tunstall?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater open days with families?
Yes. Give us total numbers and we will cater for all.
Can a company book?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we’ll confirm how booking and payment work.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
