The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Autumn parties in Upper Eddington get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
