We’re frequently asked to cater work summer parties and garden parties and barbecues, serving hog roast rolls, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
Somewhere like Cooper Street, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
A hog roast or other catering?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
