DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. For an autumn event in Queen's Bower, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

- How easy it is to reach the spot

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- Which meats and sides you’d like

To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Details of what the event requires
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
Queen's Bower is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
