A hog roast or other catering?
Rather than relatives cooking, a catered hog roast lets everyone be together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Stonecrouch hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Served at the time you choose
- Our staff serve and clear

For event organisers in Stonecrouch
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Where the roaster can go in Stonecrouch
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- One contact on the day
- Clearance from walls and branches
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In winter, it’s dark in Stonecrouch by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:15pm.
