Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Where the roaster can go in Dippenhall
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What else we do in Dippenhall
Dippenhall questions
Is Dippenhall close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Underdown nature reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Late September evenings in Dippenhall lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
