Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.

Can a hog roast raise money?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest options.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.

- The date and time of year
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For an autumn event in Winterbourne, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
