A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a winter barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Tile Hurst hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Timed around your day

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By about 3:55pm in late December, Tile Hurst is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
