Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At midsummer, events in Clapton stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or RG17 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Make the stall easy to find
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
