Should I cook it myself?
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
For event organisers in Whitchurch Hill
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. Summer events in Whitchurch Hill have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Allergies and dietary needs

- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors

If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
