Read how we price and what a hog roast costs.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.

- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
