Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For big events, tell us expected numbers, so we can plan. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Carved to order by a chef
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
See our prices page and the cost guide.

Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
We work to your event plan, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event. In December, Hook is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
