A hog roast compared with other options
If it is for clients, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Kensal Rise, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
