Catered or do it yourself?

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

How we price a hog roast for your event

Things that change the price:

  • Crockery choices
  • Distance from us
  • Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
  • How easy it is to reach the spot

Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Details that help

These are the details we need:

  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • The date and time of the event
  • Your menu choices
  • Dietary requirements

Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish

Roast pork

Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.

What happens on the day

A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-May events in Arundel have light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.

  1. Organisers send us the event details.
  2. We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
  3. We set up early on the pitch.
  4. We serve as visitors arrive.
  5. We pack down and take our waste.

How to prepare

  • Give us final numbers a week or so before
  • Gather dietary requirements early
  • Think about shelter for your visitors
