The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label alternatives clearly
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like

Is Dry Sandford close to London?
