The earlier the better. Weekdays often have more availability.

What else we do in The Holt
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Parking near the cooking area
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A lunchtime Christmas party in The Holt is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
