DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Show allergens at the stall
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Where the roaster can go in Barcombe Mills
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A queuing area
- A level pitch
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
