What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

Questions from Surrey Canal
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Surrey Canal?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do you trade at school fairs around Surrey Canal?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you roast in the rain?
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.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, 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
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
