Hog roast for events in Stonegate, carved to order

Rural events near Stonegate can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:

  • Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
  • Plan separately for halal if needed
  • Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
  • Put the menu and allergen information on display

At the end, we pack down and take our waste.

Ask about gluten-free rolls.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Step by step

We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Late-September events in Stonegate lose the light at about 7:00pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.

  1. You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
  2. We check access to the pitch and send a price.
  3. We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
  4. We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
  5. We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
  • Choose someone to meet us on arrival
