Martin questions
Is Martin too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What paperwork do you provide?
Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we will respond.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Contact us and we’ll see what’s possible.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.

About the food

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with cold food stalls, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Late-September events in Martin lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
