Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In St Ann's Green, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Label alternatives clearly
We serve hot rolls on cue, carved fresh.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
