Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A named contact for the day
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
