Do you bring plates?

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Indoor space for eating

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
You can combine: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book our hog roast in Hedgerley Green

Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Label alternatives clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
