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.
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Questions from Upper Halliford
Could you cook in Sunbury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
How far is Upper Halliford from London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What do you need from the organiser?
Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Planned to your running order
- Sides to make it a full meal
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
What we serve, dish by dish

Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In late May, sunset in Upper Halliford is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
