For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, 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 will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a staff lunch in Deadwater, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
