DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-May events in Bucknell have light until about 9:00pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:30pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Tell us about the event.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
