Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late September evenings in Bexon lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
