Take a look at how we price or what a hog roast costs.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. If your staff event in Blacknest runs into the evening, check the light: about 9:25pm in June, 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
How do we prepare?

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
