How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Ansty are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Other occasions in Ansty
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
