DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Halal isn’t offered
We work to your event plan, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What happens on the day

- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
