What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around South Bersted, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
