What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Lunchtime bookings in Alvescot are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:30pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a formal plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and usually better value. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

See our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
How we price a hog roast for your team
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
