How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In late September, sunset in Rout's Green is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We set up and roast while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your guests

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
If the service runs late, we wait; just let us know.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
