Where the roaster can go in Salford
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Space away from the building and any trees
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Let us know if there’s something the person especially liked.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Is Salford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you cater at home?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- Rough numbers

A hog roast or other catering?
