DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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 hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Gants Hill hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Planned to your running order
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Sides to make it a full meal

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. For an autumn event in Gants Hill, 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 access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
