DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For an autumn event in Crockham Heath, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive

Could you cook in Hamstead Marshall Park?

What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.

We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you do charity events?
Get in touch and we will see what’s possible.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
