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, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Northney
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Which station is closest to Northney?
The closest is Warblington station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
