Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Balance the food line-up
We serve as the queue moves.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-September events in Tongwell lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
