Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What affects the price in Pitchcott
We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
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.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Pitchcott, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
