Should I cook it myself?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For an autumn event in Hattingley, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus

- Signpost the stall clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
