DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
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.
How our hog roast hire works in Tatsfield
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. For club events and presentations and gatherings after a funeral, we can cook rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and hog roast rolls for your guests.
In a London neighbourhood like Tatsfield, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. If there is no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and send us a photo. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
