A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A clear quote with everything listed

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Coates
- Coleslaw
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Spit-roast lamb
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
