A hog roast near Ecchinswell
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Ecchinswell, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.

- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare

For event organisers in Ecchinswell
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
