Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For an autumn event in Bexley Riverside, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Site access
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
- A photo of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Timed around your day
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Our staff serve and clear
