DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.

What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-September events in Eynsford lose the light at about 7:05pm, 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.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Show allergens at the stall
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
How we price a hog roast for your event
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
