DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. If your staff event in Steel Cross runs into the evening, check the light: sunset ranges from about 9:15pm in June to 3:55pm in December.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day

We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
If it’s for clients, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
