How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, Little Atherfield is dark by about 4:05pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.

About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display

Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
