Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, and we will plan it with you.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
