Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Chart Sutton, summer evenings stay light until about 9:15pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We roast on site.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We clear up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
