Cottonworth: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Longstock Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Cottonworth?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Can we cook it ourselves?
You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
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.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. By late September, sunset in Cottonworth is about 7:10pm; by December it is about 4:00pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.

Should I cook it myself?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
