Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

Where the roaster can go in Sheffield Bottom
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- A queuing area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Why choose a hog roast in Sheffield Bottom?
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why Sheffield Bottom hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Timed around your day

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
