Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. For an autumn event in Nunhead, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
