Can you do a hog roast in Crane Valley?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.

What else we do in Flishinghurst
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. A summer party in Flishinghurst stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
