How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Light matters for a long roast: around Pamber End, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Parking near the spot
- Cover for your guests in bad weather

Is Pamber End too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is crackling included?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which generally keeps the cost down. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Our staff serve and clear
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
See our prices page and what a hog roast costs.

- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
