How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Summer events in Upper Ruxley have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Sides to make it a full meal
- An itemised quote
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
