Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Show allergens at the stall
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Yateley are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Send final numbers in good time
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
FAQs for Yateley
Could you cook in Ambarrow Court?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you come to a school fair in Yateley?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will agree what suits yours.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
