DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. For a staff lunch in Swan Bottom, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers

Swan Bottom questions
Do you come out to small places like Swan Bottom?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Swan Bottom from London?
About 31 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
