DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
- The number of people
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the cooking area
Send us the date, the address or SL6 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Summer events in Braywoodside have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
