Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.

If you’re comparing hog roast caterers for Cove, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. Open days in Cove normally finish in daylight, though in winter it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- 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
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
