What comes off the roaster
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan visitors can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Mid Lavant
Is Mid Lavant too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you do charity events?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Mid Lavant are dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
