About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Planning an evening hog roast in Gossops Green? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
