Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a formal plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and generally better value. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

What we serve, dish by dish

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. For a staff lunch in Donnington, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
