Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Sunset in Kensal Town in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
