The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Cackle Street are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Make the stall easy to find
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: 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.

We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
