DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A safe distance from other traders
- Details of what the event requires
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. For an autumn event in Cop Street, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
