DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Share the allergen information with the team
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.

Questions from Barnehurst
Could you cook in Braeburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Barnehurst?
The closest is Barnehurst station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Where on site can you cook?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you cater open days with families?
We do. Give us total numbers and we’ll cater for all.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
