What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Open days in Plaxtol usually finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.

- Numbers
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
