The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
The price comes down to:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Upper Denford ends around 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
