DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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.
Why choose a hog roast in Hedgerley?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Planned to your running order
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In December, it is dark in Hedgerley by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
