The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In late May, sunset in Plummers Plain is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Plummers Plain: your questions answered
Is Plummers Plain too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you come to a school fair in Plummers Plain?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Let us know your plans, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- Event approval for hot-food traders
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
