A hog roast near Crossness
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Crossness are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.

- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
