DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For an autumn event in Scarborough, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Ask for a quote
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
