DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
How our hog roast for events works in High Halstow
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. We serve rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are frequently booked for church and village fêtes and school events.
For a village fête or field event near High Halstow, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In December, High Halstow is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Show allergens at the stall
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
