Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.

Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Around midsummer it stays light in Three Leg Cross until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
