What else we do in Spring Vale
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What you get with us

The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late September evenings in Spring Vale lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
