For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
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 that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
