Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Count who does not eat pork
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Share the allergen information in advance
We pack up whatever the weather.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Hethe
Do you come out to small places like Hethe?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Hethe close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Hethe
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
