Book a hog roast in Ardleigh Green

How the day works

People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late-December sunset in Ardleigh Green comes at about 3:50pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.

  1. You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check the venue and send a price.
  3. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
  4. Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
  • Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
  • Let us know about tight access

Should I cook it myself?

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

What affects the price in Ardleigh Green

We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:

  • Access to the cooking area

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Why Ardleigh Green hosts choose us

  • Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
  • Serving and clearing done for you
  • Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

  • Indoor space for eating
  • Vehicle access close by
  • Hardstanding if possible in winter
