DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How our hog roast hire works in Emerson Park
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads, and typical bookings are for community events and gatherings after a funeral.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, bookings in Emerson Park come in all shapes. Let us know about the route in. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

- Time on site
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- A clear quote with everything listed

What’s the nearest station to Emerson Park?
The closest is Emerson Park station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you cook it or do we?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Occasions we serve in Emerson Park
A roll needs no knife and fork, so it suits informal events, and plates turn it into a proper meal.

- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Christmas fairs
- Staff days and open days

A green space like Haynes Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s.
