A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your staff, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Lunchtime bookings in Bentworth 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 9:25pm.

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
