DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Your questions about a hog roast in Boughton under Blean
Could you cook in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you roast near the sea around Boughton under Blean?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
