Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. For an evening party in Hook, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.

What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
As a London location, Hook is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
For event organisers in Hook
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Questions from Hook
Can you do a hog roast in Stokes Field?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at St Paul's?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What about kids?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
