Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Let us know roughly how many children
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Crockerhill: your questions answered
Is Crockerhill too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll tell you if it works.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A step-free way into the garden
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Rotisserie chicken

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
