A hog roast compared with other options

Compared with a barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

What you get with us

  • Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
  • A choice of salads and potatoes
  • Served at the time you choose
  • Staff to serve, so you do not have to

See our prices page and what a hog roast costs.

What happens on the day

Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By about 3:55pm in late December, Upper Beeding is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.

  1. Tell us when and where the party is.
  2. We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
  3. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
  4. We carve and serve hot on cue.
  5. We clear away whatever the weather.

Before we arrive

  • Have a level outdoor spot ready
  • Confirm numbers ahead of the day
  • Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Is there a non-pork option?

How to compare hog roast caterers

Allergies and dietary needs

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:

  • Label alternatives clearly
  • Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
  • Add dietary questions to the invite
  • Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list

The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.

Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.

Catered or do it yourself?

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

  • Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
  • Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
  • Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
  • Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
