The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Burghfield Common are dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us a contact number for the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
