Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A named contact for the day
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
