What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, Knightwood is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Knightwood
Do you trade at school fairs around Knightwood?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Knightwood from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you do charity events?
We are happy to talk it through.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
