Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What else we do in Lyne
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September events in Lyne lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.

Do you come out to small places like Lyne?

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Why choose a hog roast in Lyne?
Compared with cold food stalls, hot food is popular in any season. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
