Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, Oakthorpe Park is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a 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
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day
