DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A photo of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or PO8 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Balance the food line-up
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Summer events in Blendworth have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
