DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to volunteers cooking, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
See how we price and what a hog roast costs.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In December, Gundleton is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Gundleton questions
Do you come out to small places like Gundleton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you trade at school fairs around Gundleton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
Can visitors buy their own food?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we will talk it through.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What will our event need from you?
Tell us what your event requires, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
