DIY versus a catered hog roast

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

What happens on the day

When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. By about 3:55pm in late December, Stonecrouch is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.

  1. It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
  2. We check the venue and send a price.
  3. On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
  4. We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
  5. We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.

Getting ready for the day

  • Choose someone to meet us on arrival
  • Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
  • Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Prices and what affects them

A few things make the biggest difference to the price:

  • Whether you want china
  • Menu choices and extras
  • Numbers
  • Access to the cooking area

For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Details that help

When you enquire, please mention:

  • Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
  • Any venue rules
  • The venue or postcode
  • Any dietary needs or allergies

For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or TN5 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
