How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, events in Ewhurst Green stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A firm way on and off the field
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
