Hog roast for events in Holloway Down
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your menu choices
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Sides to make it a full meal

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Make the stall easy to find
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
