Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. 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.

Next to volunteers cooking, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Seasalter hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- An itemised quote

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Summer events in Seasalter have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
