Hog roast for events for Astwood
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, events in Astwood stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Balance the food line-up
We serve as the queue moves.

- A queuing area
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
