DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Permission for cooking on the site
- A level pitch with firm ground
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Long Sutton

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
