DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Planned to your running order
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
