About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.

The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. In December, Spring Vale is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Space for people to queue
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
Spring Vale is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Hog roast rolls
- Crackling
- Coleslaw
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
What affects the price in Spring Vale
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
- A photo of the cooking area
