Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

- A clear quote with everything listed

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late September evenings in Wood's Corner lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
