How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-September shoots near Alkerton lose the light at about 7:10pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

FAQs for Alkerton
Do you come out to small places like Alkerton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production; share your list and we’ll respond.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Why choose a hog roast in Alkerton?
