Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.

We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How big a hog will we need?

Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Weekdays often have more availability.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
