What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
