What we serve, dish by dish
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
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Things that change the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Late-September events in Ditton lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Details of what the event requires
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
