Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Do you come out to small places like Hoe Gate?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Hoe Gate from London?
About 60 miles from central London.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll plan around them.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Requirements vary: pass on your list and we will respond.
Why choose a hog roast in Hoe Gate?
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
