DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Around midsummer it stays light in Strettington until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
What affects the price in Strettington
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
