Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Chicken can be added.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Approval from the home
- Seating for residents
- Flat ground in the grounds
For somewhere as remote as Thorley Street, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
