Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Show allergens at the stall
- Halal isn’t offered
Give us a contact on the day.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.

Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
