Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Why choose a hog roast in Guestling Green?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. 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. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- We bring everything to cook and serve

How we price a hog roast
Your quote depends on:
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your menu choices

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Guestling Green, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- 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 set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
