Why choose a hog roast in Freefolk?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- All the equipment comes with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-September shoots near Freefolk lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
