How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late September evenings in Wallend lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.

Preparing for the day

Common questions in Wallend
Do you come out to small places like Wallend?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What else we do in Wallend
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
