Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

- Crockery choices

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In The Pound, summer evenings stay light until about 9:15pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check site access and send a price.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in The Pound
Which station is closest to The Pound?
The closest is Battle station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Ashburnham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
