Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. For an autumn event in Colliers Wood, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- 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 up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Send final numbers in good time

Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
