Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Late-May events in Badlesmere have light until about 8:45pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Make the stall easy to find
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a burger van, a hog roast stands out. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
