DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
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.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
