Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- A contact on site
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we’ll fit in.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your staff event. After-work summer events in Hartlip have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- The date and time of the event
- What the outdoor space is like
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
