How our hog roast hire works in Harrow on the Hill

Planning help
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. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What affects the price in Harrow on the Hill
Your quote depends on:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
