How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Duckett's Green ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Label the alternatives clearly
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
