Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which generally keeps the cost down. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book our hog roast in Hollington
- Timed around your day
- A clear quote with everything listed
- All the equipment comes with us

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day.

- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
How to get a price
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
