DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Parking near the spot
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price a hog roast
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

FAQs for Regents Park
Could you cook in St James' Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you cover the whole of Southampton?
All of Southampton is in our area. Send us the address for a quote.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
