What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

How we price a hog roast for your team
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- A photo of the cooking area
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast to make it more formal. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In Rockford, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.
