DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Balance the food line-up
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Signpost the stall clearly
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
