Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Show allergens at the stall
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, Stockcross is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
