Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Northington
What’s the nearest station to Northington?
Micheldever station, about 4.6 miles north-west of the centre.
How far is Northington from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
How our hog roast for events works in Northington
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Let us know what you have in mind. Whether it is horse and dog shows and fundraising events, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and apple sauce.
For a village fête or field event near Northington, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Signpost the stall clearly
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Where the roaster can go in Northington
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- A safe distance from other traders
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
