A hog roast near East Lavant
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In late May, sunset in East Lavant is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Gather dietary requirements early

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Balance the food line-up
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
