DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

- Request gluten-free rolls
