Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
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.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- A contact in production
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Spit-roast lamb
- Hog roast rolls
- New potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Salads
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your crew, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Summer shoots near Dorney have light until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Dorney
Could you cook in Sutherland Grange?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Dorney too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your requirements, and we will tell you what we can send.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
