A hog roast near Stonehills
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

How we price a hog roast for your team

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
