A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
