What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Holloway, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

How we price a hog roast
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Put the menu on the invitation
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which typically keeps the cost down. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
