Next to a restaurant booking, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is frequently better value. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Timed around your day
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
Read our pricing or what a hog roast costs.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
