A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Crackling
