How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In December, Postcombe is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
