About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Roser's Cross are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
