DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How our hog roast hire works in Munstead Heath
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is hog roast hire in Munstead Heath. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. We’re often asked to cater big birthdays and anniversaries and community events, with crackling, coleslaw and new potatoes.
Somewhere as small as Munstead Heath, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By late September, sunset in Munstead Heath is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- It starts with your date, venue, 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.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
