Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with ordering in, we’re already there when lunch is called. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- Serving and clearing done for you
- Sides to make it a full meal
- No surprises: everything in writing

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Post allergen details at base
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Name a contact for the day, usually locations or the production office.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.

Questions from Lower Clapton
What if our house in Lower Clapton has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Millfields Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.

- Time on site
