What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Myrke, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Planned to your running order
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
Read our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
