Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How it works

Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

FAQs for Donnington
Can you do a hog roast in South Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at St Alban the Martyr: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
