Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
