Some visitors won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Show allergens at the stall
- Halal isn’t offered
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
