The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Northway questions
Can you cater after a service at St Anthony of Padua?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Bury Knowle Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.

What else we do in Northway
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
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. 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.
Why Northway hosts choose us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- We bring everything to cook and serve
