DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Common questions in Iping
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Iping close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is lighting needed?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Send the allergen list round before the party
We serve hot rolls on cue, carved fresh.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Where the roaster can go in Iping
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Light by the serving table
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
The price comes down to:
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
