Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A firm way on and off the field
- A level pitch
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

What else we do in Hollingdean
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. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. For an autumn event in Hollingdean, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
