Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
