About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. 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
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Planned to your running order

Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A firm way on and off the field
- Details of what the event requires
- Space for people to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Stuffing normally contains gluten

- Show allergens at the stall
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In December, Elmer is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
