What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Milton Common are dark by about 3:55pm, 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 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
