Step by step
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. For a staff lunch in Butcher's Cross, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
