Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Put the menu on the invitation
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Late September evenings in Coulsdon lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about shelter for your guests

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Access for our equipment, without steps
As a London location, Coulsdon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
