A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Dallington, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Think about shelter for your guests

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves 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.
