Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan crew can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A level area at base

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
