What else we do in Shelvin
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

How we price a hog roast for your team
Things that change the price:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
