Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Your trader requirements
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Late-May events in Dadford have light until about 9:00pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:30pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us a contact number for the day

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
