- Balance the food line-up
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put the menu and allergen information on display

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, events in Troy Town stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Catered or do it yourself?
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 is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Details of what the event requires
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
