Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How we price a hog roast
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
