Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about a wrap party?
We do. Send us the details.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.
