Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Frinsted hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- All the equipment comes with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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 it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Evenings in Frinsted stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
