Is a hog roast right for your event?

Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Served at the time you choose
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Summer events in Allhallows-on-Sea have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

How we price a hog roast for your event
Things that change the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
For event organisers in Allhallows-on-Sea
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
