DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Why choose a hog roast in Heathfield?
At large shows, ask us about the expected crowds early, so we can plan. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Our staff serve and clear
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- No surprises: everything in writing

Step by step

Late-May events in Heathfield have light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
