- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Dietary requirements
- A picture of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
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.
The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. After-work summer events in Willesborough have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:45pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us and we will fit in.
