Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Why choose a hog roast in Fairlee?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How we price a hog roast
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or PO30 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Parking near the spot
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
Fairlee is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Evenings in Fairlee stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
