Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Balance the food line-up
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Make the stall easy to find
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A safe distance from other traders
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas makes a good food line-up. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
