Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Details of what the event requires
- Event approval for hot-food traders
Gaskins is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late-September events in Gaskins lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Gaskins: your questions answered
Is Gaskins too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you trade at school fairs around Gaskins?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
It depends on how your event works. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will talk it through.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
