Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How we price a hog roast for your event
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For an autumn event in Aston Rowant, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
