DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Monks Orchard, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Name a contact for the day
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

FAQs for Monks Orchard
Can you do a hog roast in Ashburton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Monks Orchard has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
We cook outside, but can normally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Is turkey available?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, as well as the hog.
Do you cover Monks Orchard?
