Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For big events, ask us about the expected crowds early, so we can plan. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Show allergens at the stall
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.

What else we do in Birchett's Green
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. In December, Birchett's Green is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
