How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September events in Littlemore lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

For planners, venues and organisers

Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
- Signpost the stall clearly
We serve as the queue moves.
Add coleslaw.
How we price a hog roast for your event
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
