Read our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A contact on site
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for staff who don’t eat pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Nonington, summer evenings stay light until about 9:15pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.

Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

We do. Give us total numbers and we’ll plan for everyone.

Tell us the numbers and the time and we will make it work.

It can be dressed up, with plates or china.
What space does the roaster need?

Should I cook it myself?
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.
