Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In late May, sunset in Hooley is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Halal is not offered
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
