DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Show allergens at the stall
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Signpost the stall clearly
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, Windmill Hill is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Think about shelter for your visitors

- The date and time of year
- Site access
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
