Take a look at how we price or what a hog roast costs.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a staff lunch in Bassett Green, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
