If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. For a staff lunch in Clayhall, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We roast on site.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We leave the site clean.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
