- Shelter for crew
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- Sign-off from the location
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Rose Hill is dark by about 3:55pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label the alternatives clearly
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Wrap parties can run into the evening.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
