Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Shelter for crew
- A contact in production
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
For somewhere as remote as Morton, early notice helps us plan the trip.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Morton
What’s the nearest station to Morton?
Brading station, about 0.6 miles north-east of the centre.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you cater in Morton?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Read our pricing or what a hog roast costs.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. On a winter shoot near Morton, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

How we price a hog roast for the crew
The biggest factors are:
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Your menu choices
- A picture of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal isn’t offered
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Post allergen details at base
We clear our spot after lunch.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
