What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
