Hog roast for events in Stone Hill
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In late May, sunset in Stone Hill is about 8:45pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

- Plates or china
