What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Lunchtime bookings in Cotman's Ash are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area.

- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
