Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
- Site access
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Where the event is

The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. For a staff lunch in Crouch, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

- We check site access and send a price.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
