Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Late-May events in Bierley have light until about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall 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 clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
What affects the price in Bierley
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Bierley hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Sides to make it a full meal
