A hog roast or other catering?
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- A named contact for the day
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
