Full catering or machine hire?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Light matters for a long roast: around Milton Common, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us a contact number for the day

Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- All the equipment comes with us
Read our pricing or the cost guide.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.

Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
What about coeliacs?
