The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in West Hanney are dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is West Hanney from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can you come to our fête?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Make the stall easy to find
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
