Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Organising for someone else?

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some staff will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a formal plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and usually better value. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why Whitfield hosts choose us

Read our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
