What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Whitegrove stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Send final numbers in good time

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls gives visitors a good choice. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Whitegrove hosts choose us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Served at the time you choose
- No surprises: everything in writing
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
