What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Late-May events in Elmhurst have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Send final numbers in good time

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.

Organising for someone else?

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
