Almodington questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Almodington?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Requirements vary. Share your list and we’ll respond.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Almodington are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
