What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, it is dark in Wickham Heath by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
