Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Your date and serving time
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.

How does hog roast hire work?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.

We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
