Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Chicken widens the choice.

Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What affects the price in Bodle Street Green
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
