What we serve, 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.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In December, Shenington is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- 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 clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space for people to queue
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Your trader requirements
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the roaster
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Coleslaw
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
