Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
For event organisers in Bullingstone
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
