DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, events in Turnpike Lane stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- 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 up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Think about shelter for your visitors
