How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Summer events in East Lavington have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Name a contact for the day

Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- A level pitch with firm ground
- A firm way on and off the field

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Looking after everyone
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Make the stall easy to find
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Add coleslaw.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day
- No surprises: everything in writing

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
What affects the price in East Lavington
We work out each quote from:
