Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
