Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Roundshaw
Could you cook in Waddon Ponds?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if our house in Roundshaw has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Is it pay as you go?
It depends on how your event works. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will discuss the options.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Summer events in Roundshaw have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
