- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

FAQs for Mansbridge
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Could you cook in Riverside Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
