What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In late May, sunset in Whatlington is about 8:45pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Space for people to queue
- Your trader requirements
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Balance the food line-up
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
