Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Balance the food line-up
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Where the roaster can go in Speen
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Your trader requirements
- A safe distance from other traders
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Speen: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Victoria Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Speen from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you trade at school events?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Check vehicle access with the school.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How we price a hog roast for your event
We work out each quote from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Travel to Speen
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas makes a good food line-up. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
