How it works
When we arrive, 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. On a winter shoot near Roxbourne, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.

- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Sides make a proper lunch.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
