A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Cock Marling, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Crockery choices
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
- A photo of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Parking near the spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
