For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Parking near the spot
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Hampden Park questions
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you roast near the sea around Hampden Park?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It is built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
