The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. At midsummer, events in Longford stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us a contact number for the day

The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Balance the food line-up
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
