Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Late-May events in Bix have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
