How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In late May, sunset in Cadnam is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.

- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day

About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Balance the food line-up
- Make the stall easy to find
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Halal isn’t offered
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

A hog roast compared with other options
