- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September events in Langstone lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- Whether you want china
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Permission for cooking on the site
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
