Why Bishopstone hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
