About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
Name an organiser to meet us.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Space for people to queue
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating

Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September events in Upper Enham lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
