How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In Luccombe Village, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
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:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
For somewhere as remote as Luccombe Village, early notice helps us plan the trip.
