Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

Dunton Green questions
Is Dunton Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Light matters for a long roast: around Dunton Green, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
