Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Whiteley
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you come to a school fair in Whiteley?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.

How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In December, Whiteley is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Halal is not offered
