Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Signpost the stall clearly
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.

How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In late May, sunset in Old Heathfield is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
