Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
