DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Charlton
Is Charlton close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What will our facilities team need?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A picture of the cooking area
- Where the event is
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list

If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
