Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Label alternatives clearly
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Roast turkey
At Christmas, add roast turkey alongside the hog, carved at the serving station for a festive feel.

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
