DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.

The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, Wood Green is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Send final numbers in good time

Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Planning the cooking spot

- Permission for cooking on the site
