How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In late May, sunset in Bodicote is about 9:00pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:30pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- A level pitch with firm ground
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
